I was a huge Sabrina fan back in the day, and this book really took me back to the good times (before she went to college) I could hear the character voices and picture everything from the show. The only issue I had was that it didn't 'feel' as funny as the show was.
If you're somebody who loves pulling pranks, this book is perfect to learn a lot more about the subject. However, at the time I read it, the subject of this book seemed a little too far-fetched. I just could not connect with the antagonist or why they did what they did. An okay read compared to most of the others in this series.
This one was way too simple, and took far too long to get going. (Bear in mind, it's just over 100 pages, and it didn't get fully going until 50 pages in!). The blurb on the back spoils the whole story while also referencing some things which don't even happen in the book!
To quote the blurb - 'its getting a bit old. Positively prehistoric, actually.'
I loved all of the Sabrina tales full of magic. Every story was a different adventure and some new and exciting challenge to overcome. These books made me want to have magical powers too but the ending results were hilarious.
