Salem Goes to Rome

by Cathy East Dubowski, Mark Dubowski, David Berendsen

Cat Burglar!

When in Rome...EAT! Salem and his hamster-pal Stonehenge are on their own in the Eternal City, and hungry for pizza! Real pizza, from a restaurant that delivers. But instead of a pizza delivery guy, a burglar sneaks in and steals Sabrina's magical gold locket!

Salem and Stoney will be in real trouble if they don't catch the thief. So they hightail it through the famous streets of Rome - onto the turf of Italian cats cruising for hamster antipasto, and around a crazy movie set - as they race to retrieve the locket before Sabrina, the Teenage Witch returns!

Reviews

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Entertaining tale for kids starring Salem from the television show, "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." The story is exciting and dramatic, but is better suited for the television screen. Still, it was interesting to read a little about Rome and I can see how the story would appeal to children. It's a quick read - brain candy for young children. Our oldest got this book in a book swap and we both read it before we turned it in to swap for another.

This was kinda hard to get through, as alot of the "chase scenes" were really overdone. Also, the friendship between the cat and hamster was really overdone, as anyone knows that - in real life - the cat would have eaten the hamster.

This is Salem's side of the story of the movie, Sabrina Goes To Rome.
