What Members Thought

Kit Tyler travels from Barbados to live with her aunts family in Connecticut before the Revolutionary War. Kit has a hard time fitting in with the strict Puritans. I read thsi book as a child but couldn't remember any of the story line. I liked the description of early colonial life and that Kit had spunk. I didn't remember there being so much emphasis on the love story but I didn't mind it. I can see why this won a Newberry Award.

The 13-year-old and I enjoyed this book more than we anticipated. It's a good novel pairing for middle schoolers learning about witch hunts in Puritan New England in the late 1600s. 3.5 stars. Two thumbs up.
