Not as funny as the first two books in the series, but I think it would still be enjoyable for someone in the target age range.

What a great series. Rachel ends up having magical powers and heads off to camp with her 2 sisters.
Of course the magic is used and not in the way that they had hoped when using it. There were some weird turns and twists in this book but it was sooooo cute. I loved it :)

If you haven't read the first two books, stop right now and come back when you are finished because I'm about to dive in! Now that Rachel has gained her own magical powers, she has a lot to learn about being a witch. Rachel and Miri have been enrolled in summer camp and the experience offers many lessons about stepping out of your comfort zone and appreciating the life you have. Even if it seems like someone has everything better than you, there are still many people that might envy what you have and do anything to get that life for themselves. Rachel and Miri have to reevaluate their relationship now that they both have magic and they have many lessons to learn in between campfire songs, swimming lessons and more spells!

After the pleasantly surprising twist at the end of Frogs and French Kisses, Spells and Sleeping Bags takes place a few weeks later with Rachel full of hope and a bit more magic. More magic = more problems. While some readers might find it annoying how Rachel is just having the same lesson in each book, I find that realistic. Sometimes it takes a few hard lessons before things start to settle in. There were some predictable bits, but overall still an enjoyable read (when not cringing from second-hand embarrassment).
