Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well written ultrahappy sunshine ending
Review: I read this book for an adolescent literature class at Humboldt State in California and I found the book to be well written and very entertaining. I was a little disappointed in the ending but maybe I'm just not one for the happy ending, too much perfection and it can get a little overwhelming. Definitely a good book for early readers with an exciting plot and great examples of fluid, colorful language that I would argue would captivate even the most advanced reader. Good book for everyone to brighten up their day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OUTSTANDING, SENSASIONAL, FANTASTIC, AND MORE!!!!!!
Review: This is an extremely satisfying read. I went on a foreign exchange and the flight lasted 7 hours. I started reading it when we took off and I had finished it before we landed. It was impossible to put down. If you don't like this book . . .well maybe it's not the book for you. But if you are thinking about buying this book, DO!

This book contained a mixture of witchcraft, romance and adventure but not to the extent that some of those qualities dominated the story. Because of this I found this book to be unique and continually flowing with the vivid descriptions and imaginative characters that are sometimes required in a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kit is doing slave work but still has time to fall in love.
Review: I really loved the book. One day I just grabbed it off my classes book shelf for a book report, thinking oh great another snoozer, but when I started to read I just couldn't put it down. I'm handing the book report in tomorrow and I'm not worried because since I loved it so much I found all the right words to say.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spellbinding-literally as well as figuratively!!
Review: Although I seldom read this genre and have moved on past children's books, I was knocked head over heels by this enchanting book. The feel of the time period is pervading, and the book's lure lies in it's unusual storyline and the fast-paced, constantly twisting plot.

Kit Tyler is a young girl from Barbados who is orphaned and must leave her paradise to the cold comfort of her Uncle's Puritan farm. She feels out of place, until she discovers the Meadow. She soon becomes fast friends with Hanna, the Quaker woman who lives by Blackbird Pond, and is accused of witchcraft by association.

This book is stunning. The characters and events are so real that you can see them. Everything is so vivid, from the first words of the book to the suprising conclusion. This book makes my top ten list!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great book!
Review: This is possibly the greatest book ever written! It is SO cool! I couldn't put it down. I can easily relate to Kit's life, and so can many peole.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think this book is extremly intresting
Review: I think this book is writen very neatly. It has all sort of intresting events. Elizabeth George Speare must be proud of this book. In Witch of blackbird pond's main character Kit's life is similer to my life. I live with my Aunt, I'm strange to American because i'm from Bangladesh ( which is next to India) and Bangladesh is more like Barbodas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kit's confuzing life
Review: I could see myself in Kit's place. It's about a girl that grows up in Barbados with her grandfather. When he dies she goes to live with her aunt, and uncle in New England. Everything is different there, and she feels like an outsider. She makes some friends, and some enemies, and she finally finds happiness at the end of the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was a very wonderful story that I couldn't put down.
Review: It is a wonderful story of a girl who is very layed back and careless. My class read it together and I coldn't put it down. This is the only book where we would ask for homework to read the next chapter. I think everyone in my class loved the book. I felt like I was there through the whole book. I could picture the courthouse where Kit was pleading for her freedom. I was very scared when the large town group came to Hannah's home to burn it down. I was a great book and if you are thinkiing about buying it I think you should.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the Best book ever written!!!
Review: I wish I Could give this book a 100! I read this book about 3 times a year, and never do get bored with it !!! ----WARNING----- This book is so absorbing,do not read it on a day where you have something planned.There is a 99.99999% chance you will!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book of the imaganation!
Review: A sixteen year old, high-spirited Kit Tyler, sails from the beautiful islands of Barbados. When she sees the town of Wethersfield, she feels like a bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world. She feels completely free in the meadows were she enjoys the company of the old Quaker woman and on occasion her young sailor friend Nat. Kit's friendship with the "witch" is dicovered, she is accused of having studied witchcraft!
