This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond
The Witch of Blackbird Pond
Written by: Elizabeth G. Speare
"Orphaned Kit Tyler, raised on the island of Barbados, is an outsider in her relatives’ stern Puritan community in Massachusetts colony. The only place where Kit feels completely free is in the meadows, where she enjoys the company of the old Quaker woman known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond. But when Kit’s friendship with the “witch” is discovered, she herself is accused of witchcraft."
