About this ebook

Claire and Luna may be witches, but there’s no easy spell to stop a wedding!
Though identical on the outside, ten-year-old twins Claire and Luna Bundkin are as different on the inside as peaches and peanut butter. Claire is mischievous and Luna is a dreamer, but they do share a favorite hobby: witchcraft. Whether it’s making breakfast or washing dishes, there’s nothing a five-star witch can’t accomplish with a wave of her pinkie finger. But there are two strict rules: Don’t tell Mom, and don’t try any spells without Grandy—their magical grandmother—watching. When Claire and Luna’s father announces that he’s getting remarried to a loudmouthed Texas woman named Fluffy, the twins know they need to do something to stop the wedding. Fluffy wouldn’t be a bad stepmother, but Claire and Luna know that she would lure their father to far-away Houston. A spell might be the only way to save their dad, and they’ll try anything. Even if magic usually lands them in a pot of trouble. This ebook features a personal history by Adele Griffin including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s own collection.

Adele Griffin

Adele Griffin (b. 1970) is a critically lauded author of children’s and young adult fiction. Born in Philadelphia, she began writing after college, when a job at a children’s publishing house introduced her to the world of young adult literature. She drew praise for her first novel, Rainy Season (1996), a heartfelt portrayal of a young American girl’s life in the Panama Canal Zone in the late 1970s. In books like Sons of Liberty (1997) and Amandine (2001), she continued to explore the sometimes harsh realities of family life, and become known for intuitive, honest, and realistic fiction. Over the past several years, Griffin has won a number of awards, including National Book Award nominations for Sons of Liberty (1997) and Where I Want to Be (2005). Her books are regularly cited on ALA Best and ALA Notable lists. A number of her novels, such as the four-book Witch Twins series, introduce an element of lighthearted fantasy. Griffin lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York.

    This was a very cute book. It is about identical twin sisters Luna and Claire. They happen to be witches, and they are both unhappy with their dad's plans to marry Fluffy. They worry that he will move away to Texas with her. They come up with some crazy ideas to stop the wedding.

    Sounds like it would be really cutsie and corny (the cover illustration certainly suggests that), but in fact it was really fun, funny, very fast moving, though just a little preachy. A young middle grade -- the girls are ten.

    How many times do people run into problems that they wish they could fix with the snap of their fingers? Luna and Claire are twins, and they run into problems, big and small, on a daily basis! But, the only difference with these twins is that they are witches which means that they can actually snap their fingers, in a sense, to "fix" their problems. Unfortunately, these twins are witches in training which means their plans do not always come out like they wanted. Luna and Claire always think of using magic to solve their problems and never once think of actaully doing something that is good, smart, and tricky to solve problems. Luna and Claire soon figure out that it is going to take a lot more than magic to fix some of their problems since magic is what caused their problems to become worse in the first place. It is important to take on something no matter how difficult it may be because in the end, the easy way out is not the path one should take. Luna and Claire soon realize that with everything good or bad they do, it comes back on them ten fold!

    4 starsWitch Twins is book one of the series. It is pretty good story aimed at older elementry age or higher. The twins look a like but are way different. They try to help and sometimes they try to use witch craft but they are newer witches and get into trouble. Claire and Luna's dad is getting remarried and they are afraid they will loose him. That he will move away so they want to stop the wedding. The girls dont like change.It keeps your attention in the story and has some good lessons that the girls learn along the way.I would give this too my niece who loves to read. I think she would like it. I would read the other Witch Twins book in the series. It is fun story dealing with some real problems that a lot of kids face. No not the witch part.I was given this ebook to read in exchange for honest review of it from Netgalley.Description taken from Netgalley about Witch TwinsClaire and Luna may be witches, but there’s no easy spell to stop a wedding!Though identical on the outside, ten-year-old twins Claire and Luna Bundkin are as different on the inside as peaches and peanut butter.
