Reach for this book when your middle schooler is grappling with the green-eyed monster of sibling comparison or the frustration of feeling like the only 'normal' person in a chaotic house. It is a perfect choice for girls navigating the social hierarchies of eighth grade who need to see that even with magic, life is still messy and complicated. Fourteen-year-old Rachel is the only one in her family without magical powers, a fact that stings when her younger sister Miri starts casting spells to fix her own life but refuses to help Rachel with her social standing or her crush. The story balances lighthearted humor with more grounded themes of navigating a father's remarriage and learning that shortcuts rarely lead to genuine confidence. It is a breezy, relatable read for ages 11 to 14 that validates the emotional highs and lows of early adolescence.
