Är det här egentligen bra romaner, nja kanske inte men de är ändå underhållande.

This book was engaging, involving and quirky. The whole story just captured me, and I was back to my childhood days sitting in front of the TV watching Sabrina all over again.
This book included Salem as a main character, which made this one stand out, Salem is such a lovable funny character, and works well with Sabrina.
This book took us back to the start of the town, and back in history there is many characters who are similar to the ones Sabrina knows in her own time.
The ending is exciting and a great way to end everything!

How you view this book will depend on just how much you know about what went on in the witchcraft trials in the colonies. It all starts off innocently enough when, yet again. Libby the troublemaker causes a problem resulting in both her and Sabrina having to write a ten-page paper on their small town and its history.
On the one hand, Sabrina finds out how to get back to the 1728 version of her town. On the other hand, she can't use magic, can't return until it's time and, as expected, there's an ancestor of Libby who causes her major problems.
The book does a very good job of examining the daily lives of the people there including how difficult their lives were and how hard they had to work. There's dirt everywhere, all modern conveniences are missing and as still happens the rich run things. There's also a town officer who is basically a money-gouging thug. He also happens to be the type of thug of that time that can accuse anyone he wants of being a witch.
Basically to be accused means an automatic guilty finding which, pretty much, results in death by hanging.
(In Salem in reality 19 people were killed after being charged with being a witch. They were hung except for a guy who they piled stones upon until he was crushed. This doesn't count the multitude people who were held in filthy jails. The number of people who were executed world-wide on the charge of witchcraft is not known for sure. The minimum number, though, is around 30,000 people.
The 'evidence' presented was beyond flimsy, 'spectral evidence' being one of the types. This was where the accusers, often young girls, claimed they saw the evil witch doing things and they were being attacked by evil things that no one else could see. That type of evidence was considered enough to get a person hung.)
There's also an ancestor of Harvey in the past and she does get to meet him.
The main question is whether or not she will survive in the past long enough to get pulled back to the present or whether she will become another statistic of those murdered for being 'witches.'
A very serious book and rather different from most of the other books in the series.

Like most of the "Sabrina" novels, this story was quick to read and easy to digest. The characters felt true to the story, while being a tale that hadn't been included on the show.
Sabrina travels back in time to find out about Westbridge for a history paper and after some mishaps finds herself accused of witchcraft.
It is easy to see this slipping into an episode somewhere, and it's always fun revisiting these characters

Surprisingly enjoyed this more than I thought despite not being a great lover of older time stamped books. It was a more unique plot line in the Sabrina books and reminded me of the witch trial episode.

This book tied the time jump together perfectly.

The story becomes a little boring in between but the ending is nice.

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

Probably my favorite. If you know the history of the Salem witch trials its fun to compare it. Pretty good book!
