The Witch That Launched a Thousand Ships

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #42

Sabrina's family reunion in Greece is more than she bargained for when she catches the eye of Zeus, and Hera puts her under a curse that seems likely to start a war between the Greeks and the Trojans, since her witch's powers are no match for the goddess.

Vem gillar inte grekiska gudar liksom? Så himla bra!
(fråga mig dock inte hur mitt omtittade av serien går för jag har inte sett ett avsnitt på veckor)

Sabrina ate French fries with Helen of Troy and that’s all that really matters about this book. I just needed some Sab in my life.

((one of the better written STTW books, but college years))

What a delight

Sabrina's family reunion in Greece takes an unexpected turn when she attracts the attention of Zeus, the king of the gods. Unfortunately, her newfound divine admirer leads to trouble as Hera, Zeus's wife, places a curse on Sabrina. This curse has the potential to spark a war between the Greeks and the Trojans, as Sabrina's witch powers prove insufficient against the might of the goddess Hera.

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.

This is what drew me into reading Sabrina books. This made me laugh out loud! It's too bad these books are hard to find nowadays, and there are no digital versions available. I'd love to read it again.
