A quick rundown of this product’s key features:
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.

Title: A great read after a trip to Salem!
Review: Earlier this year, our family visited Salem, MA and the kids were loving it. Weeks after we came back, our daughter (who’s 5) discovered this book at a friend’s house and read it cover to cover. Needless to say, we now own our own copy–as a Kindle e-book, and it’s fantastic!

Review: Great read and easy.Love the info. Don’t know how accurate it is but. Its a wonder how people believe in so many weird things and then punish each other for it as if they are any better.
