They may be twins, and they may both be witches, but Luna and Claire Bundkin could not have more different personalities. Claire is sporty, brash, and cannot wait for five weeks in the sun at Camp Bliss, where she just knows she’s going to be crowned Camp Bliss Girl. But Luna is shy, awkward, and would rather spend the summer at home with her cats.
To improve Luna’s attitude, the twins’ grandmother slips her a vial of thrice-distilled Marigold Zest, a pinch of which can make even the most reluctant spellcaster hungry for adventure. But when the vial disappears their first week at camp, and strange things start happening, Claire and Luna will have to stop the mischief maker—without breaking their promise to leave the spells at home!
This ebook features a personal history by Adele Griffin including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s own collection.

Grade 3-5-This sequel to Witch Twins (Hyperion, 2001) finds the girls journeying to Camp Bliss for five weeks of adventure. Though identical, the sisters' personalities are quite different. Luna is fearful of almost every aspect of camp, while Claire sets her sights on becoming the "Camp Bliss Girl" and winning a trophy for best camper. Complicating the plot is the fact that Grandma gives Luna some magic dust to add zest to her life, and it is stolen almost immediately. Claire finds a rival in all her endeavors who predictably becomes her friend at the end. Luna escapes each activity with a real or imagined illness and becomes a friend to the camp nurse. She finds her niche as she develops the camp Web site, sending news reports about activities to news-hungry parents. The siblings team up to try to find the imagined rebel witch who has stolen the zest dust and is making small magical things happen. The plot is nicely tied up with all the elements explained. The witch aspect is not over done, as the twins are only allowed simple and supervised spells. Griffin keeps the characters true to their personalities introduced in the first novel, though this book stands on its own. Each chapter includes a small black-and-white illustration that adds to the humor. Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI
