5.0 out of 5 stars READ OR BE SORRY!, April 19, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Witches' Children (Hardcover)

This book is sooooooooooo good. I've read it about six times, and enjoyed each time. It is so well written, and tells the truth! Out of the five books on the Salem Witch Trials I've read, this one is by far the best.

It is about Mary Warren, one of the girls involved in the Witch Trials (actually they are the accusers). She must decide between staying with the girls, or confessing that the girls are liars and save the lives of 19 innocent people to be hung on account of witchcraft.

I absoloutly loved this book, and I know you will too. If you are looking for a spellbinding book on the Salem Witch Trials, READ THIS. Even if that is not what you're looking for, READ THIS. And even though it IS worth the ... price, you can probably check it out of your local library. That's where I first got mine!:)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, exciting book! MUST READ!, April 19, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Witches' Children (Hardcover)

This book is truely excellent. I got it from the library, since our class had studied the Salem Witch Trials and read Arthur Miller's "The Crucible". I had read other books on the Salem Witch Trials, but this was by far the best. I had been browsing Amazon.com and found this one, and thought, "This is the one for me!"
It is about Mary Warren, one of the girls involved in the Witch Trials (among them Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, Mary Walcott, Elizabeth Booth, etc...)and how she must chose between staying with the girls, or telling the truth and saving the lives of the 19 innocent people to be hung on account of witchcraft. I really couldn't put it down, and finished the whole book in about an hour and a half! And, I read it again about five times.

If you are looking for an excellent, spellbinding book about the Salem Witch Trials, you HAVE to read this book. You'll kick yourself if you don't.
