The Witch of Blackbird Pond

Rating:
Summary: A great and entertaining historical-fiction!
Review: _The Witch of Blackbird Pond_ is a very entertaing historical-fiction. The time it took place was during the time when the American colonies were being settled. This book was well written and would be great to read for people who love soap operas. There was not a lot of action in this book and no adventure. At times I didn't even want to read the book and other times I was locked on to it. There is some irony in this book and it can get very exciting. I think a lot of people would enjoy this book very much!!

Rating:
Summary: This book was slow and boring
Review: I think this book was too drawn out and boring. All of the chapters were the same thing. There was only one chapter that I actually didn't fall asleep on, and that was the climax. I also think the book could have been better if they didn't have the last few chapters. None of it was pertinent to the theme or plot. I think that it was extremly slow because they don't even get to the plot until the last few chapters. I would not recommend this novel to anyone.

Summary: A Girl who lost everything takes her chances in Wethersfield
Review: This book was an overall 1 star book. The quality of the dialogue was horrible because it was very unrealistic. This book was also very boring and drawn out because it did not have a lot of action. The characters, however were very interesting and original. The events were very boring and predictable.

Summary: White Collar Girl from Barbados Moves to Puritan N. America
Review: This historical fiction novel describes the move of a white collar girl, Kit Tyler, from Barbados to Puritan North America, due to the death of her grandfather. The book is well written and the plot is interesting, but it is often slow and annoying. I gave this book 3 stars only because it got the Newbery Prize.

Summary: An Interesting Book...
Review: We just finished reading this book. We enjoyed it but it was too slow at times. We often compared it to the book _Beyond the Burning Time_ which was a slightly better book because it was more suspenseful and less slow. These books compare so well because they were both about witches. We recommend that you read both books and decide for yourself!

Summary: An interesting but predictible book
Review: This book was semi interesting. I liked certain parts, but compared to other books, this one was too predictible. I prefered the book, Beyond the Burning Time. Not only was it better, it was less predictable and more interesting! But read the two books for yourself and you can decide!

Summary: This book was nice.
Review: The Witch of Blackbird Pond, by Elizabeth George Speare, was filled with excitement. The only reason I gave this book 1 star was I always compare it to the French classic Gravybleu. I liked a lot though, more than my usual books; Hamington Road and the most recent Loolystolu. I loved this book because I sort of learned about America. I am glad I was able to share this to the world...because this was my only dream...to share my feelings to American kids!! Thankyou and read it! :)

Review: This was a great novel, it showed suspense and has a love theme to remember. It is about a young girl named Kit Tyler who was moving from Barbados to her aunt's house in Mass.

Summary: Witchcraft + Love= A Great Book!
Review: The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a book about how a 16-year-old girl,Kit, is trying to survive in a new town with people unlike herself. As someone who has never done work in her life, it is hard for Kit to be accepted in a hardworking town. From the first day she came to Wethersfield she was suspected to be a witch as well as her new friend Hannah Tupper. At the same time love is in the air and is causing a problem at the Wood's house. The love plot might be too predictable, but it still very enjoyable to read.
