[Shannen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book uses the phrase "the teenage witch" WAY too often. Also "Sabrina's mom" which seems particularly hypocritical when the book ends with Sabrina making a comment that she didn't know how cool her mom was because she always thought of her as just a mom and kinda sexist when her dad is referred to by HIS NAME as much as "her dad".
Also she never found out why her mom got into archaeology in the first place! That was the motivation behind her whole time travel excursion! Very frustrating.

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.

I remember reading this way back in the day, i had purchased this book from a book fair at my school and became obsessed with it! I didn’t even know that a TV show existed, in my home-town I only got very selective American TV Shows and movies. Anyhow, this mini-book became my obsession for that week because I remember reading it in one setting and then re-reading it several times. I would absolutely rate this as a childhood favourite.

Haven't read it in a while but remember it as a highly enjoyable and entertaining novel. I think that statement speaks for itself :p
