Spells & Sleeping Bags #3 (2000)
““I wish I could poof myself off the bus.”
Unfortunately for her, she can't. The one and only spell Mom has cast in the past month is a location charm that keeps Miri and me shackled to camp. It's essentially an invisible anklet made of distilled vinegar and cactus essence that works like a high-powered magnet. All we know is that we can't take it off without Mom's permission. Mom wants to keep us from zapping ourselves to Africa (Miri) or the Caribbean (me) when she's not around to monitor our ...comings and goings.
“No broom flying or transporting for you,” I say.
Miri looks back at all the girls and her shoulders tense. “I should have refused when Dad said he was sending us to camp.”
“Too late now,” I say.
“It's so unfair that Prissy gets to come for only two weeks, and we have to stay all summer. Why can't they have a starter session for older kids too?”
My poor, socially inept sister. “Unlike Prissy, you're not six. Anyway, Mom is going to be in Thailand with Lex for most of August and it's not like she'd let us stay home alone.”MoreLess
