ABOUT THE BOOK
Newbery winner The Witch of Blackbird Pond is set in 1687, in colonial Connecticut. Sixteen-year-old Kit Tyler has just arrived from a very different, privileged life in Barbados, and her Connecticut relatives are suspicious and disapproving of her ways. Kit is strong-minded and smart, and wants to be true to herself-yet she also wants to fit in and be respectful. Her struggle for truth and love helps her to grow, but also gets her in trouble. When her different ways end in accusations of witchcraft, she faces execution. Kit’s story is one of resolving dilemmas while honoring differences.
