This book is about Kit Tyler, a young teenager whose family died and so she goes to live with her Aunt Rachael, Uncle Mathew, her cousin Judith, and her cousin Mercy. However, she hates it with her relatives. They are all nice (well, except Uncle Mathew) but she doesn’t fit in and they do things so differently than back home. For example, she and her only remaining family have to do all the work since they don’t have servants or slaves. Also, they are extremely religious, and they believe in witchcraft. All is wrong for Kit until one day she finds a place and a person that understands her. The place is Blackbird Pond, and the person is old Hannah Trupper. This would be a perfectly fine friendship, but the people in the town think Hannah Trupper is a witch. Kit has to take many risks and make many decisions. Should she help Prudence? Is William really the one she should to marry? Can she still see Hannah?

I like this book because there is excitement from the first page of the book until the last. I think anyone would like this book. If you didn’t already read it, you should read it now.

Orphaned Kit sails to Connecticut to live with her aunt and uncle. She does this to get away from her own problems in Barbados. While she is there, she meets an old Quaker woman who lives next to Blackbird Pond. She helps Kit with her problems and makes Kit happy. The old woman has been accused of witchcraft and now Kit herself is being accused.
