Great book, had me holding on the whole time!
Very enjoyable. Good insight into Puritan life and the Witch Craze. The story was too short for me, but a good length for a younger reader. I enjoyed the characters and the plot was very good

2.5 stars rounded up. This was a super fast read...historically interesting and such a tragic topic. Whats neat is this is a historical fiction but it is very closely based on the authors ancestors stories during the Witch Trials in 1692. I just had a tough time feeling emotionally vested in the characters in the way I usually do. I will definitely read more books on this topic though.
