Hocus Pocus & The All New Sequel - by A. W. Jantha (Hardcover)

The first half was great. It explained a few things you may have missed in the movie. The second half was a letdown. They're supposed to be high-school students, but it feels like they're less mature than Dani was. I expected a lot more from the ending.

Loveeeee ittttt I have need this to happen for a very long time

I just bought this book today on sept 1st at 1:00pm I’m now on chapter 3 and it is true what others say it skips around a lot! However I cannot put this book down I have to read the entire book! Hopefully it does get better within time

This is a great read!

We started to read this for my book club and it dragged so much. The first half is a re cap. They also explain what happens in the begging of the movie where the little sister gets kidnapped. Which should be a book itself. The best part is the ending( no spoiler) but i felt like this book could have been picked up on part 2. And it would have been decent. Long story short.... wait for the movie.

Love hocus pocus so I’m fascinated to read other details that are not in the movie :)

Such a disappointment.

If you love Hocus Pocus you would I like this book it's a fun way to have something to do during these times for fall!!!

It’s poorly written my 10 year old could probably do a better job than the author did with this book. I have not even made it through the 3rd chapter yet and I am not sure if I will continue reading this or not.

Such a disappointment. Don't bother wasting your time or your money. How could they publish this? The Hocus Pocus movie is a classic Halloween movie and this book is such a disgrace!

So there are technically 3 parts to this. Part one is a little back story of the goings on before the original Sisters are hanged, as well as what happens prior to the event of Halloween night 1993 when the movie takes place. Part two is the story we know and love with a few details here and there that play into the sequel and also connect the first part. Then the sequel begins and thats where the fail hits for me. So after you get through the first hundred and some pages of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happening in the sequel, the the sisters finally return and then the confusion sets in. A whole lot of nothing. modern technology like cell phones and social media, bullying and trying to wane out the original characters enough to bring this new story to life. The new goal of the witches is beyond lame, sure it could have worked if it wasn't so drawn out, a weird solo song by Mary which was pointless and a final battle that was rushed. In the sequel it was made to feel like the Sandersons went from these iconic Name Brands to harsh generic made for tv characters. And the last chapter was like a made for tv movie setting up for a cheap spinoff tv series which didn't quite make me want to see it or care. In the end I was glad to close the book and put it on a shelf to be forgotten. As a true fan of Hocus Pocus I was left feeling sad and empty. I wanted to read this so bad and flew through the first part, and then crashed and burned as I struggled to care or try and get involved with the weak story of the sequel.

So excited to receive the Hocus Pocus All-New-Sequel book. I loved the Hocus Pocus movie and did not even know there was a Sequel book to the movie, until shopping a Target with a friend....SO thrilled!

Love the book, as good as the movie.

Always been a huge fan of Hocus Pocus and was so excited to see that a book was coming out!

Absolutely loved this book and the progressive story line!!

The first half of the book is literally the movie. I ain’t even mad about that. If you’re a big Hocus Pocus fan, you’ll love this book.

I can’t wait to read this! It arrived fast and I love the free mini poster.

Love this book! Still working my way through reading it.

Great book! The first was fantastic and this one is too!!

Can't beat a bit of Hocus Pocus nostalgia! Love the extra poster in the back.
