Jag gillar Dreama, skönt att det inte bara är Sabrina som gör misstag. Hoppas verkligen att det finns mer böcker med Sabrina och Dreama för jag tyckte det var ett roligt och intressant team

No.2 of 3 in my Sabrina books find at a rummage sale.

I breezed through this in about an hour, again it is for much much younger people than me, but it was still fun. Mostly what it made me realize was what a great time this was for writers-for-hire. You’d get paid to write a 120 page Sabrina book (which is like what 60 or so pages in Word?) and they’d have premises like “ok, what if the football team stop showering and changing their underwear? And … go!”

I just love it. It is so cheesy and hammy, but it works, because it isn’t taken too seriously. It’s like watching Charmed and they go, “hey, how about PMS-werewolves!” And you know an entire room of adults signed off on that and invested money into that story. It’s just kind of amazing.

So, one more book to go in this nostalgia journey, then I hope I find someone to give these books to. Present day Sabrina is a lot more edgy though, so sadly, the younger audiences it was originally written for are no longer suited for this kind of wacky fun.

This was pure nostalgia, and a sweet quick read I needed. I found it funny after owning it for around possibly twenty years I find a misspelling when it should read pour instead of poor. It was fun revisiting this version. My only wondering is if some of the way Sabrina talks in the book matches how she'd talk in the show. There were a couple words that I can't remember if that was the way Sabrina actually used like "sweetie" and "girl".

This one was cute, even though I'm not a fan of Dreama or Brad.

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.

Not the best one of the series... But still entertaining.

I used to love this T.V. show, along with the books.. now I don't care for both much anymore.
