Rating: Summary: An Exciting Adventure at Blackbird Pond! Review: A Witch at Blackbird Pond was a very well-written book. It was filled with excitment, love, and suspense. Elizabeth George Speare kept me going with wonder. I could hardly wait until I got to the end. Speare has a way of fitting everything together with her characters. The main character, Kit Tyler, is brought to life by her nobility attribute, her independent disposition, and her careless and brave ways. The way Speare brings couples together in the novel is amazing. I am a firm believer in helping people and having healthy relationships; Speare displays this so thoughtful through the witch and Kit Tyler. Even though it was entirly fiction, you feel like you are really there through the whole thing. As I had said before, this was a very unique book. The way that it skips what could be boring events and goes straight to the important ones in each chapter is impecable. It keeps the reader focused on the true plot of the story. The only thing that disappointed me was the fact that the trial was not as suspenceful as I hoped it would be, but other that, my imagingation ran wild. Read this book as soon as you can, it is well worth the time.

Rating: Summary: history Review: This is a book that I read as a child more than twenty years ago. I still remember it as one of my favorite stories, along with a 'Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle. If you enjoy books that combine history with a storyline that makes you feel as if you were living in that era, you will enjoy anything by Elizabeth Speare. She will give you a wonderful glimpse into our history as well as provide a story that you cannot put down.
