Book Review # 7 The Witch of Blackbird PondBy: Elizabeth George Speare  A Sixteen year old girl Kit Tyler has lived her whole life with her grandfather in Barbados. Than in 1687 her grandfather died and she had to go stay with her aunt and uncle in the colony of Connecticut. The town started to think that all of the things she has that she is wealthy and her ability to swim and they think she could be doing witch craft. She is so lonely that she becomes friends with this elderly woman Hannah who was run out of Massachusetts because of her suspicion of her religion and the practice of witchcraft. She starts developing feeling for Nat the son of the captain on the boat that she came over on. Than a deadly illness comes through the town her and Hannah were the ones blamed and Kit was put on the witch trials. Nat comes to her rescue and later she is set free and the charges were dropped.   This book was a great book I recommend it to any student that wants to know a little bit about the things that made you suspicious of witch craft back than. Also, it has a little romance between Kit and Nat. The book helps a lot with what happens in 1687 with the witch trials and shows that they blame anyone that is suspicious.
