Read the story of one youngster's life in turbulent times, then flip the book and find out first hand how another child reacts to the same events - with very different feelings and results! Elizabeth - Elizabeth's family is different from others. As a young girl in 1692, she is lucky to have been raised to value learning and independent thought. When a group of girls her age begins having tremors and accusing villagers of witchcraft, Elizabeth refuses to be swayed, even by her dearest friend, George. But when the witchcraft trials begin, being different leads to trouble...George - It's 1692, and witches are inhabiting the souls of Salem villagers. or are they? George doesn't know what to think. His father is certain the devil has come to Salem Village, and he is the judge who will decide the witches' fate. When George's best friend, Elizabeth, comes under suspicion for witchcraft, George must decide what he truly believes.
专业书评 From School Library Journal
Grade 5–8—An unusual format brings a fresh angle to this historical event. Elizabeth and George live in 1692 Salem. When teen girls suddenly start claiming that they have been possessed by townspeople who are witches, the two friends are not sure what to believe, and their opinions diverge as the community puts the women on trial. Elizabeth and her family believe that the women are innocent, whereas George's father is vehement in his condemnation of the accused, and his son begins to be persuaded as well. The ultimate test of their friendship comes when Elizabeth herself is targeted. The opportunity to read Elizabeth's side of the story first and then flip the book over to read George's fleshes out the characters and gives them distinct voices. This book demonstrates that there is often more than one version of history.—Kristen Oravec, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Strongsville, OH
