Hey, first post. Everybody celebrate.
So, Witch Child is kind of like Witch of Blackbird Pond or The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, I can’t remember which. Anyway, it’s about a girl who lives in Massachusetts during the 1600s and is suspected and finally accused of witchcraft. It was a great read, very compelling. Books like this make me wonder about some of the Christian groups who were persecuted, sailed for America to escape it, and then proceeded to persecute others in the same way.
So that’s it for my first post. This is what I’m planning to write about in my blog – whatever I’m reading. The End.
I really loved this book! I read it for a project in middle school. I enjoy all the different books about witchcraft. Books about that sort of stuff really grab me and keep my attention- unlike the ones we have to read in school that are so dry!
Hey! That’s cool! You might also like A Break with Charity by Ann Rinaldi. I haven’t read it, but I know that author’s good. I know what you mean about dry books for school. Every once and a while you get a good one – like I remember reading The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart, and that got me on a King Arthur kick for years. Hm, I should go re-read that…
Hey, it’s your book blog! And your first post is a really good book! One reason I really liked this book, from an historical viewpoint, is that it really connects the political situation in England and the first colonists in America. I had never realised that the English Civil War was contemporaneous with the early American settlements.
I was a great book! I’ve read A Break With Charity too, and yes, Sarah would probably like it.
