The devil is to blame

This is a perfect book for the middle school student of history. The young students inquisitive mind can learn quickly the basics of this fascinating part of American history. All of the key facts, coupled with the graphic novel approach provide for a good understanding and entertaining view of history, that literally comes to life. The colorful, illustrations by Brian Bascle are dramatic and full of expression depicting the torment and anguish of the accussed. The righteouness, almost to the point of evil, of the accussers is likewise portrayed graphically. Included is a small glossary, internet sites for further study and a bibliography. There are several books suggested for further reading like Witch-Hunt: Mysteries of the Salem Witch Trials. This book is perfect for a student whose first language is not English or the reluctant reader. Recommended for middle school and community libraries.
