Was obsessed with this series in middle school but I’m having a difficult time enjoying it now as an adult. I don’t find the characters endearing the way I used to and don’t relate as strongly to Sabrina. It may simply come down to not liking the narrator’s voice, so I’ll attempt to read my physical copies once they’re out of storage.

Love this spooky book in the series. Would recommend for older kids though, because of the eerie illustrations and demented Red.

Sabrina is getting very annoying. This book's saving grace is she is starting to realize she's annoying and trying to make changes. If that sticks, I'll like these books a lot more.

For heaven's sakes, could we please be consistent in the spelling of "doughnuts"?

Obviously, not just fairy tale characters. Myths, legends, folktales, folklore, and any famous childhood character has moved to Ferrytown (but not all of them, apparently).

A message about addiction, but Sabrina is still obnoxious.
