🎃🎃🎃 1/2. A ya historical fictional account of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. I‘m pretty familiar with the history so there was nothing revelatory but this was still an engaging account. Rinaldi is sometimes a hit or miss with me but her history is always on point.
Loved this book. I think this is the first one of her books I read. And it was good.
While fictional, this book offers a wonderful view into a turbulent time in Massachusetts history: the Salem Witch Trail. Told by the point of view of a girl around the same age as the girls “afflicted” by witchcraft, she knows the truth behind the false claims and struggles between revealing the truth and having her own family named as witches and hung or keeping silent and protecting those she loves.
While visiting #Boston, I will be taking a trip through to #Salem for my wild card trip... I want to pay homage to the innocents who lost their lives during the trials.
