Witch Child

Reader reviewed by MAryann PInto

I won this book in a contest from this site and I really enjoyed. Its about a teen ager in the 1600s who's grandmother is hung for being a witch. She tries to escapte by going to America but suspicion follows her. Even in the new world there are rumors that she is a witch. In the story Mary (the main character) makes friend with an Indian boy which is an interested twist. And even though she helps her towns people in many ways, they still make up lies and rumours about her. Although this story takes place in the past, you will find a connection with Mary when you see how the snobby girls treat her, just like the snobs today! THe only reason I wouldn't give this story a 5 is because the ending was a little abrupt. I would have liked to see it go on a little more. Hopefully there will be a sequel because it really leaves you hanging.
