Cute, true to the series, additional/new characters that were actually good. I think this book accomplished what it set out to do nicely, which is provide a Salem-centric story within the Sabrina the Teenage Witch universe that felt like it was canon but made sure it was accessible to young readers. I really enjoyed it.
Bon livre pour passer un bon moment et le lire rapidement, en effet il est court mais l'histoire ne reste tout de même pas négliger, on suit pour une fois la vie de Salem en tant que chat dans la famille spelman et ses aventures...
Salem at his most mischievous once again. Only this time he gets caught and placed in an animal shelter and it is up to his ingenuity to think of a way to escape, along with his animals friends. Sweet read.
Much as I love Salem from *Sabrina*, I was not impressed with this story at all. I kept hoping it would end, which is sad, given that the book is only 84 pages long.
