This is a novelization of three episodes of the 90's TV series: The Pilot, The True Adventures of Rudy Kazootie, and Dream Date. Took me a while to read this bec I wasn't in the mood for anything MG/YA for a while, but when I needed something comfortable and familiar, this was perfect for it. I have searched high and low to get my hands on this book ever since I started collecting Sabrina books in my youth (that's like 20 years ago now, eep) and I was so thrilled when I found a copy from an online seller a few months back. (If you're wondering, I read this because I managed a children's book section and liked to know what to recommend to customers. Characters like Sabrina are frequently very passive as well-things just happen to them and then they have to deal-and everything that's played for laughs isn't actually funny at all. I've never liked stories in which a person creates havoc with magic and then can't do anything about it except cringe, and that's basically what happened here throughout the story, but what's worse is the cutesy portrayal of the witches' society and the frustratingly simplistic happily ever after wrap-ups (though that may be just because it was designed to fit into a half-hour show).
I never watched this show so I guess I'm probably not the audience for it, but I found the entire thing embarrassing.
At least a boy at her new school likes her.
But new witches don't necessarily control their powers very well, and Sabrina gets in trouble bringing dead creatures back to life, turning people into pineapples, levitating in her sleep, and so on. Sabrina, newly living with her weird aunts Hilda and Zelda after the split-up of her parents, discovers she's a witch on her sixteenth birthday.
