I couldn’t resist revisiting a childhood favourite and the payoff was fantastic. The sabrina universe holds a special place in my heart and this was so much fun to revisit with the fear of magical crumbling as the clocks changed to the year 2000.

It was the very first book the I bought from a bookstore and I chose it among the other Sabrina the Teenage Witch books because it was the thickest one and I wanted to spend my money on something that was my money's worth. The book wasn't bad for a starter like me back then. :)

This Sabrina the Teenage Witch novel is a lot of fun. Y2K is about to happen (yes, that Y2K!), and the Great Clock from the Other Realm may malfuntion, ending forever the ability of witches to perform magic. It's up to Sabrina to find twelve objects from different times in history to build a new Great Clock. From cave people in prehistoric times, to 1940's Hollywood, to the days of William Shakespeare, Sabrina searches for the objects that are needed. Nine different authors have written the twelve chapters in this novel. Some chapters seem to be YA, and some chapters seem written for tweens, but the whole novel is a enjoyable read! Miss the TV show? Give this book a try.

12 different authors, 12 amazing stories. That is what this book is all about. Not only does it take readers on an amazing historical journey into some of America's key defining moments, it does so in a way that make it extremely relevant to anybody who's reading it. I find that each story is unique; and lends a special 'magic' to the plot and the storyline of this book. I LOVED IT!

I loved all of the Sabrina tales full of magic. Every story was a different adventure and some new and exciting challenge to overcome. These books made me want to have magical powers too but the ending results were hilarious.

Back in 1999 some people got really worried because there was talk about a possible problem with all the computers relating to going from 1999 to 2000. They felt chaos, horror and violence were sure to happen.

It didn't, of course. This book uses that perceived problem as a jumping off point for some short stories about Sabrina and a related problem. The clock that keeps track of magic is going to fail soon. The adults decide to hold a series of meetings to figure out what to do.

Sabrina, on the other hand, being a teenager, figures out she needs to do something so each story has her working to get pieces necessary to build a new clock.

All of the short stories are good and one is great. They cover things like Sabrina meeting Queen Elizabeth I, Woodstock, people involved in the American Revolution, Houdini, Frank L. Baum (The Oz books), various actors and actresses, Shakespeare, Vikings and others.

The best story revolves her being in Hollywood in 1944. She becomes involved in a movie that is directed by Alfred Hitchcock and has Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart in it! That story is extremely well written and good throughout.

I consider this a must book for those who like Sabrina the Teenage Witch books.

Re-read this purely for nostalgia reasons.

Very historical. I was looking for more y2k nostalgia.

Well,this is the only Sabrina book I've read,and I've got to say, I liked it. Because of all the time travel I guess, but I sure didn't get bored reading this book.
