This is a cutesy story of a teen trying to fit in to a new school and figure out who she is and which social group she belongs in. The part about Prudence and her family being witches adds drama and humor to this teenage book.

Ready to start her junior year of high school, Prudence, the straight A, head cheerleader, learns that she has to move from Beverly hills to Salem Massachusetts. Her brother, whom she refers to as Dorklock, is the reason for the move because he can't keep his magic under control. From their childhoods, Prudence and her brother weren't allowed to use their magic because it made their mortal father feel uncomfortable. Shortly after the move, Prudence enrolls in Agatha's Day School where she finds herself in all remedial magic classes. These classes will certainly not help her attain her goal of being "kewl", not to mention the fact that she is half-mortal which she is picked on for the first day.  Prudence tries out for the cheer leading team to try and climb the social ladder. She quickly learns the witch cheer leading is very different from mortal cheer leading.
