Publisher Description
Something wicked was brewing in the small town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. It started when two girls, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, began having hysterical fits. Soon after, other local girls claimed they were being pricked with pins. With no scientific explanation available, the residents of Salem came to one conclusion: it was witchcraft! Over the next year and a half, nineteen people were convicted of witchcraft and hanged while more languished in prison as hysteria swept the colony. Author Joan Holub gives readers and inside look at this sinister chapter in history.
Customer Reviews
Scary if reading to kids I think
It was good- accurate- kind of a scary read for kids but still a pretty good read
GOOD BOOK
This book really taught me a lot about what was going on in that time. I never knew there was so many people that thought witches were attacking girls.
