Hocus Pocus is beloved by Halloween enthusiasts all over the world. Diving once more into the world of witches, this electrifying two-part young adult novel, released on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 1993 film, marks a new era of Hocus Pocus. Fans will be spellbound by a fresh retelling of the original film, followed by the all-new sequel that continues the story with the next generation of Salem teens. Shortly after moving from California to Salem, Max Dennison finds himself in hot water when he accidentally releases a coven of witches from the afterlife. Max, his sister, and his new friends (human and otherwise) must find a way to stop the witches from carrying out their evil plan and remaining on Earth to torment Salem for all eternity. Twenty-five years later, Max and Allison's seventeen-year-old daughter, Poppy, finds herself face-to-face with the Sanderson sisters in all their sinister glory. When Halloween celebrations don't quite go as planned, it's a race against time as Poppy and her friends fight to save her family and all of Salem from the witches' latest death-defying scheme.… (plus d'informations)
I actually think this will be a prefect halloween read! I think for younger kids who never watched the movie (the horror!!) the first part of this book was nice recap of the original story. But i was really invested in part two. I liked how the leads were connected to the family overall but also how different the story was. I just loved how diverse the cast was and also how the magic effected the story. I really enjoyed learning more about the sanderson family! It was super fun read and I think it will make a great fall read! ( )

You know what they say, the sequels are almost never as good as the originals. And that's true for this book. Now, I don't know anything about how it was written, but it felt rushed. Some sections took forever to get through (I'm pretty sure the time Poppy took from deciding to go to the Sanderson House to the time they actually got there was 4 chapters long, and all they did was walk and talk about whether or not they should go.) I do appreciate that it is a much more diverse book than the original movie, but reading it felt like Disney just wanted to release the book so people would buy it for nostalgia factor (which, fair, that's part of the reason I bought it). I think the write up of the movie was quite good, and gave some further insight into Max's thoughts, but the shift from 3rd person to 1st person when Poppy became the main character was a little jarring. Also, I'm pretty sure sometimes the tenses were mixed up? So some editor didn't really do their job.
In short, this book was fine. It wasn't spectacular, it wasn't horrible. Maybe if I hadn't just read the amazing [book:Cemetery Boys|52339313] right before reading this I would've enjoyed it a little more. ( )
Of course I loved the original story. I’ve been watching the movie since I was a child. It stayed close to the storyline, with a few scenes missing here and there. The sequel could never be better than the original. I definitely would have gone in a different direction in a few places but overall, I enjoyed it. I would definitely read on if the author chose to continue on with the stories.

Another glorious morning. Makes me sick!
It's just a bunch of hocus-pocus.
