...was brought out for fans to enjoy. Among the dolls and magazines, there was a variety of books to be bought. You had your annuals, and your books about Salem, as well as the Sabrina Hand Book. However the collection that I find the most exciting is the books that tell Sabrina's stories, focusing on her life and antics. Although I never read them as a child, over the last few years I have been able to build up my collection, and I must say, I enjoy ...

The boy in the striped pyjamas : A sad but true story

Advantages: It tells the truth about what life was like for some people.
Disadvantages: There are none.

In my opinion for the looks of the book i think it has an excellent book cover which can give many ideas to what it is about and can be quite upsetting depending on which way you interprit it. I got the book as a birthday present and as i started to read it, it became an obsession as i wanted to find out what happened. It is a real clifhanger at the end and when i finished the book , i sat down for half-an-hour and just thought about it. I did cry ...

Review of Scream Street: Flesh of the Zombie - Tommy Donbavand

This will never Age!

Advantages: plot, characters
Disadvantages: /

...novelizations. Book number #20 is Age of Aquariums. Each of the Sabrina books have their own cover and I must say, this one is incredibly attractive! It has a main deep blue shade, with a matching sparkly Sabrina logo and border. On the front you can see an image of Melissa Joan Hart, the actress who plays Sabrina. Her hair is blonde, which suggests this is from one of the first few seasons (her hair is dark in the rest). She is also holding up a ...

Though the writing is quite small across its 160 pages so it is not too good for the less confident reader.
