Three and three quarters stars!

Pretty gory, but the it was lessened by the funny cartoony illustrations. Overall a fun, short read!

creepy

An apparently scary time to live no matter where you were, especially if you were a girl or a woman. Between illustrations and snippets of facts, this book walks you through a dark period in history.

I can't imagine how people could believe that others were witches. We know a lot of this information from movies and other books but this book has so much more. Many places had these witch hunts, not just Salem Ma. And even animals were condemned for being witches familiars. You can find out what happened to some of the people afterwards.

We picked this one up to supplement the brief description of the Salem witch trials in our history spine. These books are always a little gory but this particular book was really disturbing. As any book about the witch trials should be. I loved that it gave us several different points of view as well as historical references and other times in history witch trials took place. I think this is one of the the best you wouldn't want to be books we have read.
