This was a very interesting graphic novel told from the point of view of Ann Putnam Jr. She was the only one of the Salem accusers who ever publicly showed remorse over her actions at the time and apologized. This shows her take on the events and how she lived afterward, taking care of her brothers and sisters when her parents died and how she was treated in the community.
I found the book interesting. I am not a big graphic novel reading so parts of it seemed disjointed. For students who have a background or interest in the Salem Witch Trials I think this is a good fit. It also may spur the interest. I am thinking it may be too high for my students but it will work for sure at the junior high.
