Hocus Pocus & The All-New Sequel by A.W. Jantha

 Hocus Pocus & The All-New Sequel by A.W. Jantha, 521 pages


Seventeen year old Poppy Dennison doesn't believe her parents' stories about the rise of the Sanderson sisters. After all, who really believes in witches and ghosts and immortal cats? With love on her mind and something to prove, Poppy finds herself under a blood moon accidentally switches the souls of her parents and Aunt Dani with the Sanderson sisters. Now Poppy and her friends must race to save all of Salem from a tidal wave of witches. 

This book was so much fun! The author did a good job of shaping the new story to parallel the old one without too much fanservice.  I do wish that there had been more focus on the second part, though. It felt a little rushed.  

While I enjoy the Hocus Pocus movie, it never felt sacred to me; I don't have the hallowed nostalgia some of my friends do, so take my opinion with a grain of salt!
