Book Review
The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth
George Speare
16 year old Kit has
just moved away from her home, Barbados, to live with her aunt and
uncle, in the New World. While there she is faced with many trials.
Most of these trials include Kit's friend Hannah Tupper. Hannah is a
hermit and because of this is thought of by neighbors as The Witch of
Blackbird Pond. Because of Kit's relationship with Hannah she is also
accused of using witchcraft. Kit must prove her innocence or she will
be hung.
This book is very interesting. It really helps one to realize how
devastating the witch trials were. My favorite part of the book is when
Kit first meets Hannah. <
