Birdsong28 Love this book. There is a sequel but it doesn't really add to it. Have attached the book.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Birdsong28 is it worth reading?? 3mo

Birdsong28 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It's worth reading as a story in its own right but it really doesn't add anything to the story of Witch Child. It's not as good as Witch Child. 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Birdsong28 ok thank you! 😊 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AnnCrystal 😂😂 I just picked it up randomly! 3mo

AnnCrystal @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks best way to select your next read! It makes it feel as if the book selected you 😉👍💝. 3mo

A quick enough read but depressing and inconclusive. Mary‘s grandmother is killed for accused witchcraft. Her mother (who she never knew) sends her to the New World to escape persecution. Persecution finds her anyway but she‘s able to escape. Pretty amazing how the Puritans find anything unfortunate in life to be blamed on witchcraft.

"My grandmother taught me to read auguries, and to me the sign is not so clear. The lights spanned the whole of the sky, from east to west, west to east. Where would the death and destruction fall? On the world we have left, or the one we sail toward?"

I love learning new words: AUGURY: a sign of what will happen in the future; an omen.

Also, good on audiobook ??

allureofbeauty I always loved this one a lot. 4y

Kimberlone I definitely read this in high school and remember a sequel too. Very little memory of what actually happens. (edited) 4y

bibliobliss @Kimberlone Yes, there is a sequel. I recently discovered the series. It's good so far 4y

This YA historical fiction was quite enjoyable. A young girl and her grandmother are chastised for practicing midwifery. The story is told through diary entries of the girl and her viewpoint of the Puritans and the world around her was detailed and made for a wonderful read.

Day 17 of @Andrew65 's #Top20series #20series20days challenge

This was one of the first 'proper' books I read from the library as I progressed into teenage books.

I may have purchased recently the 20th anniversary version of Witch Child 🤭🤫 as it had such a pretty cover 😍 (not released till 3rd September) but as it is such a significant book in my reading life I thought it was worth it. 📚 📖

Kimberlone Omigosh! I totally remember loving this series. 4y

Bookworm54 I loved this one :) 4y

I am using the tagged book for June's prompt for my #ReadingwithMaja challenge.

This book was one of my favourites as I transitioned from children's books to teenage books and one of the first to really grab me and harvest my love of reading. It was great rereading this as it took me back to that time of discovering that books could take me out of my world and into another and could make me think about them for days after.

Very good. Even though this is a YA book alot of the themes are adult so it can be read universally. Love rereading this as the last time was when I was a teenager and it still is one of my favourites just as it was back then. Set during the witch trials in both England and America.

so-so

I thought this was pretty slow overall. There have been much better Salem accounts. I'll read the next one but only because I already own it.

JazzFeathers I read it years ago and l felt the same. I liked the historical setting, but something in the story dudn't quite speak to me 6y

BethM @JazzFeathers I'm glad I'm not alone! I can't quite put my finger on it, but the story seems almost clinically impersonal. (edited) 6y

readinginthedark Is this a series? I read it such a long time ago. 6y

BethM @readinginthedark I know there's at least 2 books. 6y

Yay for relaxing in a pool! Also, being pretty book monogamous right now, I usually hop around a few different books at the same time but I‘m really enjoying this one!

JazzFeathers Read The Witch Child years ago. It was ok. I wasn't mad about it, but it was pleasant. I liked the historical take at witchcraft, even with the definite speculative element. 7y

LeahBergen I love Colette. 💕 7y

Birdsong28 Love Witch Child it was (and still is) my favourite book when I was a teenager but it's so good any age can read it. You should try to find the sequel (the tagged book) as it carries on the story but isn't as as good but adds a little something to it.

Sorceress

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Birdsong28 I will look for it!! Thank you!! 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eeclayton I love it!!!! Thank you for sharing that!! I may try that !! My family already thinks I‘m crazy 🤣🤣 so do my neighbors for all the pictures I take outside!!! 7y

Loved this book! Read it years ago and I‘m planning to re-read over #ChristmasBreak. The second book is also very good. It‘s called Sorceress and I will post it too.

A young girl escapes the persecution of the people in her small town when her grandmother is accused of being a witch and hung. Her escape brings her to the colonies where she fosters with a childless family and tries to conceal her unusual gifts.

SiriuslyWeasley Great book! 🙂 7y

This HF novel follows a young girl‘s diary in 1659, whose grandmother is hanged after being accused of being a witch. She manages to escape, herself, but staying out of the eyes of the Puritans proves difficult. This would be an excellent story for LC, IR, PR, and AS.

Lesson Plan: http://www.pearsonschoolsandfecolleges.co.uk/Secondary/Literature/11-14/NewWindm...

juliek1 A good UDL would be 9.1 Promote expectations and beliefs that optimize motivation, as this is a book that has a lot of heavier tones, and expectations for feedback could be high. 7y

juliek1 ESOL strategies that could be used are 30. Encourage the use of diagrams and drawings as aids to identify concepts and seeing relationships, and 32. Use student pairs for team learning; Students can work with a partner on a lot of the more open-ended questions, and use timelines and bubble charts to document relationships and events. #ucflae3413f17 7y

DrSpalding If you liked this book, check out my review of A Shape of Mercy regarding the same topic. Historical fiction can be fascinating. I like the idea of using bubble charts to aid students in documenting relationships or events in the story. 7y

The first book that came to mind for #Waterfalls 🤷🏼‍♀️

Part of the book takes place by a waterfall. I don't think a lot of it does though... regardless this is a great YA book, and contains a waterfall somewhere 🤣🤣🤣
