Max, Dani and Allison (and the black cat, which of course turns out to be the immortal Thackery Bix) escape from the cottage when Max cleverly uses his lighter to set off the sprinkler system. The bottom line: Funny, beautifully illustrated, and full of soul, I loved Hocus Pocus: The Illustrated Novelization! GRIS GRIMLY is an award-winning illustrator best known for his "macabre" yet humorous books for children and young adults. Llegó en muy buenas condiciones y el libro está muy padre, muy buenas ilustraciones, para los que son fans es una exelente compra.

In an attempt to impress Allison, Max talks about visiting the creepy museum that has been made from the old cottage that used to belong to the Sanderson witches. I am just a little disappointed because I was hoping the written version would emphasize more of a dark atmosphere kind of thing, and maybe make some changes or add something to the plot.

Having just moved from sunny California to Salem, Massachusetts, teenage Max Dennison doesn't understand his new town's fascination with everything Halloween. At several points, an editor could have been utilized to clean up portions that were poorly conveyed — things that were written to capture an image from the film (leading to confusion or redundancy in the writing) or oddly placed breaks that only make sense as scene changes on screen (but not so much on paper).

I love Hocus Pocus, so of course I had to get my hands on this illustrated edition as a special treat to myself this spooky season.
