desertcart.com: Witches: The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem: 9781426308697: Schanzer, Rosalyn: Books

Review: Rough but very true and well done. - I have no idea why so many reviewers are tagging this as fiction. This is not fiction folks this is true and hard facts, the witch trials happened and it was a very horrible time in our history, hopefully never to be repeated. With that being said I must admit, knowing that this a true event that actually happened to these actual people that lived...........it was rough and brought out many emotions from my home-schooled daughter. I never hide the truth from her though so history, as bloody and disturbing as it sometimes is, must be explored so as to not repeat. This book has brought on more research and in depth conversations on the topic then would have been possible if I had just presented to her a timeline of glossed over facts as is so often done. All in all, though rough, I would say this does a very good job of chronicling a very tragic period in our country's early history.
Review: Schanzer offers a bewitching account of the Salem Tragedy, great for kids of all ages (but esp 4th-7th grade). - What a great book for kids! Age appropriate, but well written and smart! A great addition to any child's library. A rare treat--a serious discussion of a historical tragedy, presented in an accurate, entertaining narrative. Books like this make learning fun, and keep kids reading. I highly suggest it, and Ms. Schanzer's other works as well. She does US history like no other!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short & accessable introduction to Salem Witch Trials
*by Y***T on June 22, 2012*

I think Witches! is a perfect introduction to this dark moment in U.S. history. It's well-paced and has a lot of interesting details. I especially like how Schanzer wove excerpts from the actual trials throughout the story, and the black and white illustrations add a fun touch. Read my full review @ [...]
