I have become addicted to reading Newbery winning books, and this one was a fun read. It took the award in 1959 with a plot set in 1687 in the Colony of Connecticut. Kit takes off on her own to live with her aunt and uncle after her grandfather passes away. She is headstrong with her own opinions, so...of course she must be a witch. These amaze me for the fact that if I had lived, they would most definitely had tried to sink me, or burned me at the stake many times over. Thank goodness we live in the times that we do! Kit befriends a cast out Quaker woman, who also must be a witch. There is sickness and death, romance, good old evil biblical playacting, everything a good book must have!
