Book Review: Sabrina's Holiday Spectacular #2


Book: Sabrina's Holiday Spectacular issue #2 (1994) by Dan Parent

Rating: 4 stars

Review:

This whole book was full of holiday cheer and the stories were really funny. The first story Holi Dazed & Confused, which was in three parts had Sabrina trying to find her aunt Hilda and her two friends Eyeda and Cleara. They were all sent back in time (without their memories) to various holidays, all thanks to Della the Head Witch, who didn't approve of Sabrina's Thanksgiving dinner party.

First, Sabrina had to go back to save the first Thanksgiving and to find Eyeda. Then to the North Pole where Cleara even without her memory helped Santa figure out the whole flying animal solution. And lastly, to Father Time to get her Aunt Hilda who unfortunately thought she was the babysitter for Baby New Year and wouldn't let Sabrina and Father Time take the baby away from her.

After everyone was found and their memories restored, they went back to enjoy their Thanksgiving meal and Sabrina even figured out a way to make Della happy about the holiday.

The second story Yule Yow, had Salem the cat doing good deeds for several animals while he took a walk around the neighborhood. This was very cute

In the third story Concrete Thinking, Harvey decided to play a prank on Sabrina since she took too long shopping in the store while he waited for her outside in the cold and snow. But she totally got him back even though he didn't remember since she reversed the spell. Hey at least she got a good laugh out it.

In the last story True To Type, Sabrina was in such a good mood that she went around town casting spells trying to help people out, despite her Aunt Hilda's warning that Della the Head Witch has been keeping her eye out on Sabrina to make sure she's acting like a witch.

So warning disregarded, Sabrina decided to help a very cold police officer stay warm and avoid the rain, she helped a woman with her plant and another woman when her grocery bag ripped. Unfortunately, all of her helping turned out bad for all the people she tried to help. However, it worked in her favor with Della who thought Sabrina was truly out their causing mischief and ruining mortals lives.

These were all nice fun holiday stories. Perfect for the holiday season.
