Edition DescriptionTeacher's edition
SynopsisSixteen-year-old Kit Tyler is marked by suspicion and disapproval from the moment she arrives on the unfamiliar shores of colonial Connecticut in 1687. Alone and desperate, she has been forced to leave her beloved home on the island of Barbados and join a family she has never met. Torn between her quest for belonging and her desire to be true to herself, Kit struggles to survive in a hostile place. Just when it seems she must give up, she finds a kindred spirit. But Kit's friendship with Hannah Tupper, believed by the colonists to be a witch, proves more taboo than she could have imagined and ultimately forces Kit to choose between her heart and her duty. Elizabeth George Speare won the 1959 Newbery Medal for this portrayal of a heroine whom readers will admire for her unwavering sense of truth as well as her infinite capacity to love.
I am re-reading Newberry books and collecting my favorites as hardback additions to my library. I am happy to have The Witch of Blackbird Pond, one I really love.
I've read this book every October since middle school and my paperback copy is looking a bit worse for wear, so I wanted this edition in hardcover, especially as it was first edition I first read.
This book is in mint condition! I don't even think it has been read. Or even touched. Definitely going to be a book I cherish for a lifetime. Very pleased!
