A classic of historical fiction that continues to resonate across the generations. Sixteen-year-old Kit Tyler is marked by suspicion and disapproval from the moment she arrives on the unfamiliar shores of colonial Connecticut in 1687. Alone and desperate, she has been forced to leave her beloved home on the island of Barbados and join a family she has never met. Torn between her quest for belonging and her desire to be true to herself, Kit struggles to survive in a hostile place. Just when it seems she must give up, she finds a kindred spirit. But Kit’s friendship with Hannah Tupper, believed by the colonists to be a witch, proves more taboo than she could have imagined and ultimately forces Kit to choose between her heart and her duty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 5.12 x 0.56 x 7.62 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | Grade Level | 7 and up | | Isbn 10 | 0547550294 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0547550299 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 272 pages | | Publication Date | January 10, 2011 | | Publisher | Clarion Books | | Reading Age | 10 - 13 years, from customers | ## Images ![The Witch of Blackbird Pond - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713mqILd3lL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YA History Lessons *by on Reviewed in the United States October 30, 2025* The Witch of Blackbird Pond is one that I read when I was very young, and since I didn’t really remember anything besides that I enjoyed it, this is tagged a re-read.Kit Tyler is an intelligent and spirited young woman who was raised by her wealthy grandfather in Barbados. When it becomes apparent that she can’t live alone when her grandfather passes, she moves to Connecticut to stay at her uncle’s house.Things are very different in America from the life she knew in Barbados. Kit was raised with the privilege of fine clothes and others who did all the work of cooking, growing food and keeping her house. At her uncle’s home, she was expected to card wool, pull weeds, and if they wanted a sweet dessert on Sunday, they needed to save their sugar for the entire week.Besides the fact that Kit could swim, her fine clothes and attitude, set her apart from the people of Connecticut. She did not comfortably tolerate the Puritan church and their desire to sit through too long services every Sunday.Kit kitchen for a walk alone and met Hannah Tupper, a woman the locals suspected of witchcraft because she was a Quaker and not a Puritan. I never thought about it the first reading, but for some reason, I always thought the two religions were virtually the same. Quaker’s believed that you could pray and God would hear you, and Puritans believed they were reforming the Church of England. The politics of the time are also interspersed throughout the story.I’m not sure quite why I like this so much the first time I read it, because although the writing is excellent, I found the story sad or dark coming from a more enlightened time. The story had a happy ending and had many light and joyful moments, as well as very stressful ones. Kit is an admirable character, even though some of her beliefs made her less than perfect. I still had to give this “history lesson” five stars for great writing and solid storytelling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teaches bravery in the face of strong opposition *by on Reviewed in the United States March 30, 2026* The Witch of Blackbird Pond skillfully depicts the hypocrisy of the supposedly "Christian" Puritan society. The lack of Christianity within the society itself stands in stark contrast to the true Christianity of those shunned by the society, those who actually live true Christian values of love, charity, and happiness. Kit Tyler's character is the exotic and beautiful flower that is determined to bloom and grow even in the cold and unforgiving climate of the colonies' society. I want to be more like her and be true to what I know to be good, even if society pressures me to act otherwise. I also love how Uncle Matthew and others are willing to go through such hard toil and the unforgivable elements in order to have freedom and agency over their own lives. This is a book about true revolution in order to defend correct principles and the innocent. It teaches bravery against strong bigoted opposition. The reading level makes it so that the young can easily access and understand the message. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A story for almost any aged reader *by on Reviewed in the United States February 12, 2025* I read a lot as a kid, but somehow I missed this one. I was still entertained as an adult. A glimpse into a teenaged girl's life in 1600's Connecticut. Though Kit is a bit arrogant and annoying in the beginning, she really comes to shine as a character. A good snapshot of Colonial American life, with some romance and adventure that keeps the story moving right along. A quick read, but an enjoyable one for almost any age. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Witch of Blackbird Pond: A Newbery Award Winner - Island of the Blue Dolphins - Bridge to Terabithia --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1652518-the-witch-of-blackbird-pond](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1652518-the-witch-of-blackbird-pond) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-14*
