Rating: Summary: This book will remain a favorite. Review: Wow! Anyone who reads The Witch of Blackbird Pond will take something with them that they did not have before they entered into Kit's world romance, adventure, drama, and comedy. Speare combines all the elements in a powerful manner which only aid in driving home many wonderful moral messages. This book would be an asset to any classroom, as it offers an infinite number of theme lesson choices.
Rating: Summary: This book was extraorinary Review: I really enjoyed this book. It was a well written-novel and I enjoyed it very much. There was a lot of foreshadowing. The end was kinda predictable but I thought the ending was great.. To see what I am talking about read this book. I highly reccommennd it. A brief summary is... This book is about a girl who moves across the world in the 1600's and is accused of witchcaft. there is also some romance between some of the characters and all of the love is sorted out by the end of the story. I really enjoyed this book and I think you will too. Hope you read it. You are the one missing out if you don't.
Rating: Summary: Thank you for finding out about my book. Review: Thank you readers for taking the oppurtunity to learn about The Witch of Blackbird Pond. It was a hard novel to write due to the fact that it takes place in the 1800s. The book was written in a third man perspective and almost in the view of a girl Kathern Tyler. I think readers from the ages of 12-15 would especially enjoy this book because it is filled with suspense and thriller hangs. Thank you again...and remember reading is the best kind of entertainment a child or teenager can endure. I hope you read this wonderful novel I guarantee you will enjoy it.
Rating: Summary: The Witch of Blackbird Pond ; by Elizabeth George Speare Review: I have read this book many many times, as a small child and as a young adult. It's compelling, but yet some parts are dull. It portrays the tradgedy of a young girl in a situation where she is forced to leave her beautiful island home of Barbbados, as an orphan, and live with her aunt, uncle and cousins, whom she has never seen. It expresses her trials and tribulations of adjusting to New England life with full detail, but little irony. I recomend this book to any body who can enjoy a spellbinding novel of suspense and romance.
Rating: Summary: An exciting adventure story. Review: The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare,is a great adventure book for all middle school readers. The author gives you a good perspective of how life was in America, 1687. She also explains characters well; like Nat's mocking eyes, or Mercy's quick hands. Kit has so many suitors, that you don't know who is really her true love until the last few sentences of the book. I would recommend this book to any middle school student of either sex.
Rating: Summary: Good but Slow At Times! Review: This book by Elizabeth George Speare was a good story but was a little bit slow at times. The story was about a girl named Kit who had to move from her home, Barbados, to Wethersfield, Connecticut. When Kit arrives to her Aunt Rachel's, and her Uncle Matthew's house tons of chores were thrown upon her with little free time, which she was not used to. This story is a look in the past at the beginnings of the thirteen colonies in conjunction with a soap opera. There were 3 love stories going on at a time with an unpredictable ending.
Rating: Summary: This novel was very suspenseful yet drawn out. Review: I really liked this novel and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. I felt, that most of the time, it was informative, suspenseful, and exciting. The story also gave a great theme, not to judge people who are different from you. Yet, sometimes it was very boring and mundane. Many parts were also predictable which I disliked. However, over all it was a teriffic novel!
Rating: Summary: This was an excellent book!!! Review: This was an excellent book on a young woman who has just arrived from the island of Barbados to live with her aunt and her family. I liked this book because it's full of adventure and suspense like when the whole town is against her. The main character, Kit, behaves differently than most sixteen year old girls and is friends with the town scapegoat. Because of this, she's accused of being a witch and is tried. What will happen next? You'll just have to read the book to find out.
Rating: Summary: This book was a book of incredible suspense and excitement. Review: The Witch of Blackbird Pond was a great book with a lot of suspense. It was about a girl named Kit Tyler. She moved to Wethersfield to be with her Aunt Rachel, Uncle Matthew, and her two cousins Judith and Mercy. Her grandfather died and she had to sell the house inorder to get money. These are two of the reasons she left her home town, Barbados. She was very different from everyone at first, but soon she became just like others in clothing, but not in personality. Later in the book she was accused of witchcraft. Several people died because of an illness, therefore a witch hunt was started. I wonder what's going to happen next...
Rating: Summary: Oh, this book was wonderful! I really enjoyed it! Review: In the book the Witch of Blackbird Pond, a girl named Kit runs from her home in Barados to come to her aunt and uncle's home in Wethersfield after her grandfather died. She finds out that Wethersfeild is a very different place than Barbados. Who would think that knowing how to swim, read, and just being friends with an elderly woman can get her in trouble? She also faces new decisions in this book such as if she should marry the handsome William Ashby who she doesn't really care about or face the court who accuses her of witchcraft? This book was really worth reading.
