This was so cute!! Kit had so much character development it was crazy. Although I kinda knew who she was going to end up with I love it so much! I was very invested. The ending was rushed but I sorta suspected that so it didn’t bother me as much as Pride and Prejudice. I loved how her uncle stood up for her at the end when they were accusing her of being a witch. Even though I hated him at first, at the end he changed my mind( just like Mr. Darcy) so I guess this book has a few ties to pride and prejudice which I also loved.

Very good! I read this for school and it was probably my favorite school book. It was great, whitty, heartfelt and relatable. I liked it!

Solid 4.5⭐️I know I read this when I was a kid. Saw it advertised on Instagram for some reason and chose to reread it. Definitely worth it. Funnily enough it reminds me of the lighter romances of today.

This is one of the few books that made a lasting impact on me growing up and I was a voracious reader. Absolutely loved it!

This is one of my most favorite classic books! This captivating story is about a remarkable 16 great old girl named Kit Tyler. She is identified by suspicion and disapproval from the very moment she arrives on the unfamiliar shores of colonial Connecticut in 1687.
Alone and desperate, she has been torn to leave her beloved home on the island of Barbados and join a family she has never met. Torn between her quest for belonging and her desire to be true to herself, Kit is conflicted with trying to survive or even belong in such a hostile place. Just when it seems she will have to give up, she discovers a kindred spirit. But Kit's friendship with Hannah Tupper, believed by the colonists to be a witch, proves more forbidden than she could have imagined... This will ultimately push Kit to choose between her heart and her duty.

Author Elizabeth George Speare won the 1959
Newbery Medal for this portrayal of a heroine whom readers will admire for her unwavering sense of truth as well as her infinite capacity to love."

I can't think of a better honor or award to recognize the works of a talented writer of this sensational tale. This story is well-worth your read, anytime!!

The first book that I ever read that had romance in it, and immediately I fell in love with reading this book. As soon as I finished this book for the first time I reread it again. It is such a classically beautiful and wholesome book. I love this book, it was my “first love” of reading.
