The Witch of Blackbird Pond

Like The Bronze Bow, The Witch of Blackbird Pond is by Elizabeth George Speare. It is a story about how a nice woman is accused of being a witch. Kit, a nice girl who tries to be her friend, spends her time in the meadow with the "witch". When their friendship is discovered Kit is afraid to spend time with her friend even though she wants to because she is now being accused of being a witch herself. There are also hints of romance with the boy who rescues Kit and her friend. I liked this book because it is about how you shouldn't judge people without getting to know them.
