The Witch of Blackbird Pond is by Elizabeth George Speare. This is the classic tale of Kit Tyler, who leaves Barbados upon the death of her grandfather to live with her aunt and uncle in Connecticut. Coming from the Caribbean to New England is bad enough, but her relatives are Puritans and their lifestyle is very different from what Kit is used to. Things go poorly until she meets a mysterious woman known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond; Kit finds a friend and is then is accused of witchcraft herself. A wonderful book of friendship, family ties, and the difference between right and wrong.
Ratings: 5th grade - 9 out of 10.
