Witches: The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem

Biography & Autobiography. History. Juvenile Nonfiction. HTML:Tackling the same twisted subject as Stacy Schiff's much-lauded book The Witches: Salem, 1692, this Sibert Honor book for young readers features unique scratchboard illustrations, chilling primary source material, and powerful narrative to tell the true tale.

In the little colonial town of Salem Village, Massachusetts, two girls began to twitch, mumble, and contort their bodies into strange shapes. The doctor tried every remedy, but nothing cured the young Puritans. He grimly announced the dire diagnosis: the girls were bewitched! And then the accusations began.

The riveting, true story of the victims, accused witches, crooked officials, and mass hysteria that turned a mysterious illness affecting two children into a witch hunt that took over a dozen people's lives and ruined hundreds more unfolds in chilling, novelistic detail--complete with stylized black-white-and-red scratchboard illustrations of young girls having wild fits in the courtroom, witches flying overhead, and the Devil and his servants terrorizing the Puritans-- in this young adult book by award-winning author and illustrator Rosalyn Schanzer.

Taught in middle and high schools around the U.S., the 17th-century saga remains hauntingly resonant as people struggle even today with the urgent need to find someone to blame for their misfortunes.

Too much info dumping for me.

A great non-fiction read for ages 10-14 (per the publisher), but I would say that it's more like an YA book, mainly because of the vocabulary. It's a very smooth read and I enjoyed this book very much. The black, white, and red ink drawings were also excellent. 238 pages ( )

Witches! is a very educational book. I find that a lot of books about true history are boring. Witches! was definitely not boring. The exact opposite of boring. I learned new facts about the Salem Witch Trials. I was also able to understand some of the 'witch stories' from my previous knowledge. This book by Rosalyn Schanzer went into the details of a few Witch Trial events. I would recommend this nonfiction book to higher elementary and middle school students. ( )

A relatively short look at the witch trials. Some quite interesting information on the background and references to transcripts. A good little read if you enjoy reading about the history of witches or instances of accusations. I read it because I am fascinated by the 'mass hysteria' type phenomenon often cited and the cultural history behind this phenomenon. It is interesting to try and place yourself in a mindset where something such as spectral evidence was legitimate to an argument. ( )
