Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel

By: A. W. Jantha

Narrated by: Eileen Stevens

Hocus Pocus is beloved by Halloween enthusiasts all over the world. Diving once more into the world of witches, this electrifying two-part young adult novel marks a new era of Hocus Pocus. Fans will be spellbound by a fresh retelling of the original film, followed by the all-new sequel that continues the story with the next generation of Salem teens.

Shortly after moving from California to Salem, Massachusetts, Max Dennison finds himself in hot water when he accidentally releases a coven of witches, the Sanderson sisters, from the afterlife. Max, his sister, and his new friends (human and otherwise) must find a way to stop the witches from carrying out their evil plan and remaining on earth to torment Salem for all eternity.

Twenty-five years later, Max and Allison’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Poppy, finds herself face-to-face with the Sanderson sisters in all their sinister glory. When Halloween celebrations don’t quite go as planned, it’s a race against time as Poppy and her friends fight to save her family and all of Salem from the witches’ latest vile scheme.

I loved it

I love everything about this book. it explains the story so well and the seal was amazing

Love this

I love the movie!!! Wish they would have done the second movie like the book

Looooooooved!!!!!

I absolutely love hocus pocus and the sequel didn’t disappoint. I kinda wish the 2nd movie would’ve adapted this to continue the story of Dani Max and Allison but it was still good as well. Hope there’s another book

Overly Long

Things I liked: More detailed than movie. Good characters and I liked the addition of a fourth Sanderson sister.
Things I disliked:
Too lengthy; towards the end I just wanted it over. Could be cheesey and had too many details from the first movie tossed in as an attempt to blend them together. The fight at the end was boring. Predictable at times. Honestly, I thought the screenplay was much more interesting and fun. The book lacked the humor and charisma that the movie had.
