Witch Child is an exciting, tragic, gripping, heartbreaking book full of suspense and distressing surprises. It starts in the 17th century with Mary describing how they took her grandmother away, trying to prove she was a witch. They publicly execute her grandmother for being a witch by hanging her. Everything is through Mary's eyes, and you can see it so vividly. To avoid the same fate she is shipped off to America with a group of Puritans, where she has many adventures and meets many interesting people. She tries to remain undetected, which leaves us guessing about her ultimate fate. Her fate is then decided in the book Sorceress, which tells us what happens to her. A great book, covering a truly tragic period in history when thousands of women (and men) were accused for no reason and horribly murdered. The book is full of mystery, surprise and peril.
