The film Hocus Pocus is a classic and one of my all-time favorite films. That being said the first part of this book is a retelling of the movie in novel form which I enjoyed immensely! Part two is a sequel set 25 years in the future which features many of the same beloved characters and some new ones as well. It was pretty entertaining, but it didn't really live up to the original. Then again I wasn't really expecting it to. However the ending of the sequel was very intriguing and leaves it open for a third installment which I would be interested in reading. Overall this was a nostalgic and delightfully wicked romp that did work it's magic on me. I hope that another story is in the works.
