Summary: still a wonderful book!
Review: I got this book in 1974 when I was in the 5th grade -- and I still love it. It teaches about love, sacrifice, and perhaps most of all -- a look into early America. Fortunately, my version has a MUCH, MUCH better cover!

Summary: I reccomend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction
Review: This is one of my most favorite books. Kit Tyler is the main character. Her parents died, so she went to America to her aunts house. There, was a bad-tempered uncle, sensitive aunt, and two stuck up, but mostly kind girl cousins. This story takes place in Salem Massachusetts in a time when they prosecuted witches. I thought the book was compelling, realistic, and unpredictable. I reccomend this novel to anyone especially if you enjoy historical-fiction.

Summary: One of my all-time favorites!!!
Review: When Katherine Tyler, Kit, comes to stay with her Aunt Rachel's family in the Connecticut, she knows her new home will never be the same as her old home, Barbados. Kit doesn't seem to fit in in this strict Puritan colony. When her young sailor friend, Nat, is around, he's always teasing and that doesn't really help, either. Then Kit befriends Widow Hannah Tupper, a.k.a. (also known as), the Witch of Blackbird Pond. With Hannah Tupper, Kit can let go and speak her real feelings. She feels almost as happy as she did back in Barbados. And she cannot understand why everyone is so misunderstanding towards Hannah Tupper. So when Kit's new family warns her to stay away from Hannah Tupper, to avoid trouble from the rest of the town, Kit ignores them. Unfortunately, her friendship with the so-called witch is discovered. And Kit is also accused of witchcraft!

Summary: Enjoyable, entertaining and educational!
Review: I've been able to connect Language Arts with American History in ways that keep my students and myself constantly enthusiastic. We have discovered layers of meaning together, countless references to everyday colonial life, and just enough historically accurate information that it doesn't bog down the book. Instead, my students have increased thier understanding of America's early days, as well as increased thier empathy for our founders' hardships. All this wrapped into a soap opera that could stand up to any modern day teen romance book. I intend to use this book for years to come.

Summary: A VERY GOOD BOOK!
Review: I had to read this book for a book report in 8th grade and loved it! It is interesting to see the differences in the way of life of the Quakers in Connecticut compared to Barbados (where Kit is from). Everyone should read this book.

Summary: Stunning, romantic, suspenseful and insightful!!!!!
Review: A beautiful and captivating story about a young girl who is forced to leave her finery in Barbados to join her puritan relatives in Connecticut. Everyone in Wethersfield disapproves of her carefree, headstrong conduct except the few friends she has: an accused Witch, Hannah Tupper, a cocky young sailor, Nat Eaton and a young, abused child, Prudence Cruff. Now, though never commiting any crime in reality, nearly every citizen of the town is declaring her a witch! The end has a twist and a surprise but it makes you feel good in general. I was dazzled by the accuracy of the puritan lifestyle and the romantic, creative nature of the story itsself. Though young children may not understand the themes and language, it's great for anyone 11 and up. It's a wonderfully happy story to cheer you up! :)
