Summary: A beautifully written and charming book
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book! I am 16 years old and I read it for the first time. It wasn't what I thought it would be like, judging from the title and cover, but it was a wonderful story. I loved Kit Tyler, the main character. She had a geniuine personality that made me feel like I knew her and like I was right there with her, experiencing her joys and struggles. The book was captivating and very well-writen. I recommend this book to anyone- I think anyone would enjoy this timeless novel no matter what your interests are or how old you are.

Summary: Wonderful read!
Review: This book is a classic. The main character, Kit, is a strong role model for society today. She shows that through perseverance, she can overcome life's struggles. Through her struggles, she shows others around her that prejudice is unacceptable.Looking at Kit's struggles to survive in a society she is not used to, a young adult can easily relate to her. Young adults struggle with all sorts of issues growing up. Even though Kit's problems are inherently different than those of young adults today, there are many similarities that young adults can relate to, such as fitting in. It's a shame that because a book is written well and depicts the life and times of people from over three centuries ago, it's considered horrible and boring. I read this book over fifteen years ago, and read it again in college, and the book still has the same effect on me. It's still a favorite book, and as a teacher, I will recommend it to my students as a mandatory book.

Summary: A classic romance of colonial times
Review: "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" has charmed readers fordecades now. Kit's journey from the warm Caribbean to the coldPuritan valley in Connecticut has been read again and again, and will likely be read for decades to come. A charming romance of an outsider trying to fit into a new and strange culture, the novel immediately brings the reader a sense of what it is like to try and fit into a world very different from the one you grew up in. My only complaints about the novel are minor: the picture of the Puritans is far too cold, given what we now understand about the Puritans (although their persecution of the Quakers is dead on in the novel), and the ending seems a little too pat and contrived (I won't tell you, other than to say that everybody ends up with somebody they deserve). Still, a wonderful read after all these years.

Summary: Excellent Piece of Literature!
Review: Being forced to leave her home in Barbados is hard for KitTyler, a strong-willed girl; she must move in with her aunt's Puritanfamily. Once she arrives, she finds that her life-style is much different than that of her relatives and their neighbors, and this gives Kit a feeling of fearful uncertainty. That's when she be-friends a lonely woman who lives out by Blackbird Pond; the villagers believe her to be a witch, and learning of Kit's visits with her, they start to think the same of Kit! A beautifully written novel, The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a moving and touching work of art.

Summary: Interesting...very interesting.
Review: It may not have the most complicated, interwoven plot, but what can I say, I like it. Kit fits fits perfectly into the time period without becoming one of those overly sugary "porceline dolls" which is what happens to many of the characters in all kinds of historical fiction because the author is not quite sure how the characters of the past should react. It's interesting to watch as Kit tries to fit into her surroundings, but then finds out she can't. She is who she is, and would be who she is. So soon she learns a way out of the suffering of being different but has another problem--her unique character and "evil" way of dressing lead the people of her town to believe she's a witch. Now she must rely one the people she trusts most to save her, and hope that some of the people she found hopelessly mistrustful of her would find a way to forgive for being different.
