Ben There, Done That

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #6

by Joseph Locke

American hysteria!


Sabrina's Aunt Hilda has the hiccups -- and this realm may not survive. Hic! The refrigerator turns into a braying mule. Hic! The sofa turns into a backyard swing. Hic! Sabrina's cafeteria food becomes pheasant under glass. All because of Hilda's hiccups.

Sabrina's not too worried...until the books for her American History assignment on Benjamin Franklin disappear--and in their place is Mr. Franklin himself, on a twentieth-century joyride. Now "Ben" is enjoying fast food, motorcycles, VCRs and liberated women, while Sabrina's history textbooks are back in 1776--with the future course of events all laid out for our Founding Fathers. If Sabrina can't figure out how to send Ben back to the past, American history--and Sabrina's life as a semi-normal teenager--will never be the same again!

This book was just on point!

My favorite part of this book was when Hilda's hiccups kept causing things to happens. Oh and the part were Sabrina's friends possessed each other's body and Sabrina's lunch changed to something from a restaurant.

I frankly don't remember most parts but all the same I loved it and I hope I can get to read it all over again.

I love the part where Benjamin Franklin came back and he kept getting weirded out by the technology he saw.

Overall 4.5.

Taking a walk down memory lane and re-reading this. I enjoyed the fun of it but at times, it really didn't feel like the characters had been translated well from screen to fiction, with sentences or reactions feeling really out of character.

Also, the constant references to weight gain or body image haven't dated well since this was written!

It was okay. Nothing major.

This book had the typical Sabrina hi-jinx mixing the mortal world and the other realm.

I love love LOVE this book! Seriously, everyone go out right now and read it. It won't take you too long; it's less than 150 pages, but it's well worth it. I happen to belong to the generation who watched Melissa Joan Hart every week on The WB, so of course, I devoured the books with just as much enjoyment. However, even if you never saw the show, there's a good chance you'll still love this book--and this series doesn't need to be read in order.
First of all, the title says it all: Sabrina is a teenage witch. If you like a little magic in your stories, this one's for you! Secondly, it's not a period piece. She's a regular kid in the '90s, complete with headbands, argyle sweaters, and knee high socks. If you're just looking for a little high school fluff, pick up this little pocketbook! Third--and this is why Ben There, Done That is my favorite volume--Benjamin Franklin shows up in Sabrina's world and gets to compare modern-day democracy to the world of the Founding Fathers! It doesn't get funnier than that.
Seriously, go find a copy at your local bookstore. If you don't laugh yourself silly, I'll...well, I'll look for your missing funny bone.

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.

In this book Sabrina's aunt Hilda has the hiccups and it is causing huge amounts of bother for those near her as every time she hiccups something happens,there is even a visit from Benjamin Franklin! They have to figure out how to stop the hiccups before Hilda ends up altering history!!

Not the best Sabrina book of the series. But it was fun to see her interact with Franklin, he looked like a teenager in there.

This was just a cute and mindless read, which is exactly what I needed while recovering from surgery.

I used to love this T.V. show, along with the books.. now I don't care for both much anymore.
