I read this book when I was 13 or 14 and I really loved it. Unfortunately, I don't remember very much about it, so I figured I would re-read it and see if it holds up.

The reason I fucking loved this book so much when I was in middle school was Hannah Tupper, the old Quaker woman who lived in the marsh. I related to her so hard (I've always had this imagine in my head of what I will be like when I'm old, and it's Hannah Tupper), and she was my introduction to Quakerism. Which if you know me, you probably know I have a not-so-secret obsession with Quakers.

Kit semi-secretly hates mass and bible study and she makes the puritans uncomfortable with her slutty sleeves and sinful play acting. I find that makes her very likable. The poor girl has no one to relate to in this new oppressive environment and she's forced to live in her head. This was my life when I was reading this book for the first time, growing up in a conservative town with conservative parents.

My favorite thing about this book is the writing style. You can tell it was written over 50 years ago because people don't use words this way anymore.
As far as the story goes, Kit is something of a mary-sue type character (in that all of her "flaws" are AWESOME) but...as an unapologetic Wesley Crusher fan...I love mary-sues, so shut up.
