Book on Salem Witch craze
I've finished a very good book for younger readers. It's called Her Story: Priscilla Foster: The Story of a Salem Girl. It's a fictional character, but examines what actually happened in the craze and presents some very good theories about what caused the girls to act the way they did, and how the adults used the craze to get even with others they didn't like. |

Fantasy for Young Adults
Alrighty here's another post, this time I come bearing names of Fantasy series for Young Adults.
The first Series is the Valdamar series by Mercedes Lackey, I think of them as Young Adult because I started reading them when I was twelve. The series is made up of mostly interconnecting trilogies, personally I read By the Sword first, although, I recommend you actually start out with, the trilogy she wrote first, Arrow's of the Queen. These books are great you have horses that TALK in your HEAD!!! I love it, I reread the series at least once a year, my favorite...Magic's Pawn it's heartrending and very cathartic to read.
The second series is the Tortall books by Tamora Pierce. There are, so far, three sets of quartets one duology and one singleton that I hope gets made into a quartet. The books tell the story of the land of Tortall, and follow young girls as they make their way in a mostly male dominated society, yes a bit cliche but still well worth the read as the way she tells the stories is unique (to my knowledge I've never read another book about a girl struggling to become a Knight in a Medieval society).
Okay that's it for now I hope everyone is having fun, and hey you watchers you can post recs too you know. |
