Really enjoyable little light read. Witches and Cheerleaders nice.
A young witch who has not been witching and has been living mortal gets flung into working and learning her witch craft talent. This is a series book no conclusion to the story but I enjoyed it enough to read the next one.

Very Sabrina the teenage witch- meets Wizards of Waverly Place- meets Harry Potter. A decent read!

Dumb-cute, in an entirely acceptable sense. Prudence has the sort of witchy powers that most people would love to have—very little is off-limits. She can undo stains with the wave of a hand, teleport, stop time, levitate...or at least she can do all of this in theory. In practice, Prudence's parents (witchy mother, mortal father) have raised her in the very mortal world of Beverly Hills, and moving to Salem, MA, is a huge leap out of her comfort zone. In California, Prudence was expected to hide her powers, but in Massachusetts, she's expected to flaunt them...and she's behind. Way behind.
It's pretty damn fluffy, but...well, it's meant to be fluffy. There's some minimal boy drama, a chunk of girl drama, not really enough characterisation for the side characters... I'd have loved to go deeper into the witch end of things (how far do her powers extend?), but at any rate it was acceptably entertaining.

People say this story is vapid and silly, as insubstantial as a mouthful of cotton candy. Well, just like cotton candy, I can't deny that it has its own sweet appeal. I found this book to be weirdly addictive and comforting. I come back to this story even as an adult as a sort of comforting escape from daily life when it gets too tough. There's something really comforting reading about Prudence's small and funny problems in a world that still thinks flip phones are cool. Its nostalgia in the best way, enhanced by some cool witchcraft. Pick up this book if you just need some mindless and fun reading to get you through a nasty bout of flu.

Reread. I remember loving this when I was younger, and I still really like it. However, the texting (oh my gosh, awful) I never texted like that, and if people actually did, why? There was also a line I didn’t like, she did say her friend wasn’t what the line said, so why was it even said. Past those few things, I like the friendships that she made and hope to see Daniel more in the later books.

I do love a good young adult witch book, although it was a little hard to get into I stuck through it and was interested in more of Pru’s adventures
