For the Hocus Pocus fans wanting to read this book, you’re better off just watching the movie. This book is basically just the movie on paper followed by a subpar sequel and ends with room for another subpar sequel.
This book was a lot better than the reviews made it seem. I think everyone had their hopes up since Hocus Pocus is such a beloved movie but the sequel was not all that bad. I felt that it dragged on and had a few unnecessary scenes/descriptions but it was overall good. I definitely enjoyed it. You got a better view of what the characters might have been thinking. The end definitely makes it seem like there will be third book though.
A nice, nostalgic read. The sequel was enjoyable; I look forward to seeing the movie.
mysterious
fast-paced
I feel like someone scammed me outta $20. There’s gotta be better Hocus Pocus fanfic out there—they shoulda published that instead.
i didn't think it was THAT bad as some others...first half of the book is the story we all grew up watching...second part is like a continuation...would like to see it as a made for tv movie honestly

I grew up with this movie so I'm going to do my best to not let nostalgia play to big of a part in this review. I enjoyed taking it in, in a different format. It’s a classic, so you can’t go wrong with it. I’m not going to talk about the first half as it’s just the original movie and doesn’t feel I need to say anything other than it’s such a fun read!
Now part two, the sequel!! I was over the moon happy when I saw this and I was hoping there would be a connection between the two and there is. The main character we follow is the daughter of someone from the first film. She’s a good character but her two friends are my favorites in this story. I enjoyed how this sequel reflected the first movie. There were so many characters who played a part in this story. I don’t want to say too much about this book or the plots but there is an LGBTQ character, it ’s well written and doesn’t read as a movie script, it’s a book, book. There is a twist that made this story good. These characters are clear and full of wittiness. If you like the movie, you will at less find something in the sequel that will make you smile. But in the end, you have to remember that this is a young YA Halloween, cheesy fun read.
I was giving a copy to review, so this is 100% my own thoughts.

Cute story. The first part is a telling of the movie, and alternates between 1693 and 1993. The second part is set in present time, 25 years later and follows the story of Max and Allison’s daughter, Poppy. I really enjoyed it, and, of course, would love to see a movie version.
I love the return of all our favorite characters from the original Hocus Pocus. This starts with the tale of 1693 and 1993 and then moves to the present of 2018. Max and Alison's daughter is braving her family secret of the night that the Sanderson sisters came back. Not believing the truth, her and her friends find the book and somehow bring the sisters back, sending her family to Hell. Will she be able to get the back before the sun rises?
