The answer is in thy heart. Thee can always hear it if thee listens.

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: One of the highlights of my childhood reading list! A must read whether you are 10 or 100.
Review: I m in the middle of reading a well-written but lengthy and depressing classic (more about that in a subsequent review), and after 200 pages, I needed a break. I randomly picked a book from my children s books bookcase, hoping it would be something...

First Line
  On a morning in mid-April, 1687, the brigantine "Dolphin" left the open sea, sailed briskly across the Sound to the wide mouth of the Connecticut River and into Saybrook harbor. Kit Tyler had been on the forecastle deck since daybreak, standing close to the rail, staring hungrily at the first sight of land for five weeks.

Paperback, The Witch of Blackbird Pond: Illustrations by Barry Moser
Orphaned Kit Tyler knows, as she gazes for the first time at the cold, bleak shores of Connecticut Colony, that her new home will never be like the shimmering Caribbean island she left behind. In her relatives' stern Puritan community, she feels like a tropical bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world, a bird that is now caged and lonely. The only place where Kit feels completely free is in the meadows, where she enjoys the company of the old Quaker woman known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond, and on occasion, her young sailor friend Nat. But when Kit's friendship with the "witch" is discovered, Kit is faced with suspicion, fear, and anger. She herself is accused of witchcraft!
