The Witch of Blackbird Pond

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book
Review: I read this book for the first time when I was 10 and I've read over again several times. The book is so worn out from me reading it, I'm going to have to get another copy soon. The writing is very detailed; I could see everything in my head as I read it. I love the characters in the book, especially Kit and Nat. They and the other characters seem very real. The story never gets boring and the ending is good too. It's one of my favorites.

Summary: It is a book you Don't want to put Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I really really reallly love this book. It is sort of an adventure and a love story.The main character is caring and looks inside people, not outside. My mom has also read this book and she loved it. I usually don't like reading books but this is one of the first books I couldn't stop reading. It taught me a lot.

Summary: Wonderful. Simply one of those books you 'have' to read!
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite books, next to 'Jacob Have I Loved'. It is INCREDIBLY engrossing. The Puritan setting is done in such a believable manner that you are sucked into the story. You can easily imagine yourself to be right there with Kit and enjoy every minute of it. Kit, as a heroine is very likeable and authentic. She begins the story with pride that borders on conceit and ends with a mature and well-tempered strength. Throughout the novel I got a kick from her defiant attitude and spirit. The relationships between all the characters in the story are the heart of the novel. While the mystery and action elements of 'The Witch of Blackbird Pond' are well-done and could stand alone (the plot moves along very nicely), it's really the relationship aspects of the novel that appealed to me. I also have to mention that there are moments of fine humor that make me laugh out loud. I can't say that about many other books I've read. I will probably re-read this book many, many times. I think it's unfortunate that students are forced to read this book before they are ready to enjoy it. If you had to read this book for school and found it hard to get through, I would strongly recommend that you give it another shot when you're older. You won't regret it.

Summary: I was enthralled!
Review: This book is one of my all time faves and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys any type of book. It has a little of everything( mystery, action, love story). If you enjoyed this book, I would recommend "Gallows Hill", by Lois Duncan!

Summary: This book is great for adults as well!!!
Review: This is one of my all time favorite books. I have read it over and over several times. My mother bought me the book in sixth grade and I couldn't get into it. I admit it may be a little too overwhelming for kids. However, I have read it three times as an adult and it keeps proving to be an entertaining, suspenseful, intriguing book. Read it and you'll see what I mean.

Summary: I think this is a great book.
Review: I think this is an awesome book! It's a great reprsesentation of that period of time, with "witches" and the "swim test". I could just read it over and over. I think Kit is brave and daring. I love this book!!

Rating:
Summary: This is a great historical book without being depressing
Review: I loved this book! I think Kit is a wonderful character because she is brave and funny and stubborn, but still believable as a person. I didn't like the beginning that much because she was making some big mistakes, like jumping into the river and almost getting Mercy fired. But after that it started getting good. I especially liked the part where she helped Hannah escape. This is one of my favorite books!

Summary: Great book
Review: The Witcth of Blackbird Pond is a great historical fiction book. It is one of those rare books that I set my alarm clock to three o'clock in the morning so that I can finish the book. I will admit the book is not for every one but no matter what any one says about it. I still think it is great!!
