Poppy is also close to her Aunt Dani who is coming home soon to celebrate Halloween, though the Dennison family isn’t one for Halloween. The sequel follows Poppy and her friends Travis and Isabella, along with their bully Kate Taylor (the daughter of Jay Taylor who was the plaid wearing bully from the original Hocus Pocus). Max and Allison married, moved away from Salem and later returned, they had a daughter and named her Poppy. Part 2 includes the same cast of characters and their offspring. As Emily is lured away from home by Sarah Sanderson’s enchanting song, Elizabeth stops her and warns her to not follow the singing, but Emily Binx continues on her way. The added character of Elizabeth Sanderson (the fourth sister). Part 1 simply retells what we saw in the movies with one change.

Part 1 of the book is the best part of the book by far, yet I can’t say that it is a good part of the sequel because it isn’t. I will be upfront and honest with my readers, I was not impressed with this book, not even a tad bit, and that saddens me. Having grown up with the cult classic “Hocus Pocus” I was excited to get my hands on the written sequel.
