I absolutely loved the twins and their family and being a fan of witches and magic, I enjoyed the book a lot. So much in fact, I finished this book in just a day. Of course it's short and a kids book. The writing style was very very easy to read and I loved how each character was described in detail. The chapter names were fun and overall, it was a good book. I even used the book as comprehension to my cousin twins who are 10 and they enjoyed it. SYN: Luna and Claire are witches but their mother doesn't know! and when their dad plans to marry Fluffy, they vow to do everything in their power to make sure that the wedding does not happen and through working for first star and kittens, substitute teachers, family reunions and love potions gone wrong, Claire and Luna learn that some things does not need magic, only love!Fav Character: Luna! I might be biased to the name but I thought she was a lot like me and definitely the twin I'd click most with. Verdict: My tween sister loved it too, and so, I would recommend this to all tweens! She rarely loves a book.

I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this quick, fun read for older elementary children. The plot of the story is simple, and the author wastes no time getting right to the magic that makes this book so much fun. While the fledgling witch sisters experiment with magic and try to stop their father from marrying "Fluffy," they learn some valuable lessons along the way. This book is funny and the sisters are well developed characters that children could relate to easily. I liked their brother, Grandy and mom as well. The dialogue in this story is right on target and makes you believe you are really listening to the conversation of a couple of middle-school girls. A warning: after you read this book, you won't be able to love or hate anything anymore without love, love, loving it or hate, hate, hating it! By the end of the book there is a resolution to the major issues that fit the rest of the book nicely. I think this would be a great chapter book for young adults.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Twins Claire and Luna, who happen to be witches, found out their father was getting remarried. They were concerned about the consequences.Both of the girls were spoiled but not in a mean way. They were a little snotty, somehow this was one of the things I liked about them. Neither of them liked change and were vocal about it. They usually found they liked the change that had taken place.One of the best parts of the book was the consequences to the cast spells. They weren't always bad, but there was something unexpected about all of them. I liked how they had to use their heads to fix the problems their magic did cause.The turnaround the girls have is very abrupt and the catalyst for their change of heart was rather small. At one point they felt one way then they looked around and felt the opposite. It could have been a little more involved to be more realistic, but the solution did leave everything warm and rosy.

Ten year old witch twins decide they do NOT want their father to marry "Fluffy," his flashy fiance from Texas! How do they try to stop the marriage? They attempt to use magic with their limited skills!Within this cute chapter book for young readers, you find a story told in a manner that will keep everyone's interest, with spot on dialogue, all while teaching a few lessons in a fun way! The book hits on topics that are current for the day, (divorce, re-marriage), in a way that ends up being very positive!Well done!This ARC copy was given to me by NetGalley and Open Road in exchange for an honest review!
