The Witch of Blackbird Pond

Rating:
Summary: Another amazing work of Elizabeth George Speare!
Review: I am in the midst of reading this book for about the twelfth time. I love everything about it. It is a mixture of bravery, homesickness, and love. Kit Tyler makes the journey from Barbados to Wethersfield because her Grandfather died. After paying all debts necessary, she had no money and no place to live. When she gets there, she realizes that there was much more work than she had bargained for in Puritan life! When she makes a huge mistake in teaching a dame school, she seeks help in the meadow with the accused witch, Hannah Tupper. She befriends both Hannah and Prudence, an abused child. She teaches this overworked child to read, learn, and love. She falls in love with Nat Eaton, the captain's son. She is accused of being a witch and put to trial. These words can barely describe the brilliance and excitement of this novel, and I will never grow too old to read it!

Summary: Wonderful Bool
Review: I enjoyed this book a lot. The first few pages are kind of boring, but it gets better and better. It is a very heart warming book. It also is a good book if you don't like learning about history. It mixes a story with history so your learning about the time when there were pilgrims, but your also interested in the book. I would read this book.

Summary: Elizabeth George Speare rocks!
Review: Well, I've read of all of Speare's works that I can find, The Bronze Bow (awesome), The Sign of the Beaver, Calico Captive (finished it in a day), and The Witch of Blackbird Pond. This one beat them all! I never thought that she could write anything better than the Bronze Bow, but obviously, I was completely mistaken. In fact, this novel replaced my longstanding favorite book, Jane Eyre, as it slowly but surely crept its way up to number 1. I loved it; it's awesome; what else do I need to say? However, if you have no idea what good literature is, then you won't like this outstanding novel.

Summary: The history was accurated and reflected a girl's life.
Review: This book accurately reflected a young girl's life during a historical period. It allowed me to relate to her and understand this time period. I read this book for a history class, and all the information that Elizabeth George Speare put into the book reflected exactly what I had been learning in the class. It is a great work with an awesome emphasis on the historical period in which it takes place.

Summary: An outstanding book
Review: In 5th grade, I read this book and I thought it was boring at first. Then, when once she stepped on land, I knew this was my favorite book. After I read this book, my mom toke me to Old Weatherfield. We went to the graveyard and fond some names that were in the book.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book is really good and it shows how closed minded people can be towards other people if they do not know about them and use steriotypes.

Rating:
Summary: A very good book.
Review: Normally I am the kind of person who goes for books with adventure and fantasy in them. But hey, I tried this one out and loved it. It's not as fast paced as some of the books I've read, but that suprisingly didn't matter. I suggest anyone read it.

Summary: I have re-read this many times...
Review: What an amazing book. In my opinion, it surpasses all books i have ever read. My mother read it to me when i was in second grade. Ten years later, i still read it. It has strong characters, and a twisting story line that is accuarate to the time period. This is the bast book I have ever read.

Rating:

Rating:
Summary: This book is great if you are into history.
