“Have you ever wondered if Magic or witches and wizards really exist in this modern world? Well yes, they do exist, and they are quite active in the modern world. There are more than 10 million witches in the United States, with new practitioners on the rise daily.”(Caine) Being a witch is much different than what you may have seen in the movies. There is real magic to the craft, but witches or wizards don 't walk around turning people into to frogs with a flick of their magic wands. They don 't disappear into thin air, nor do they fly around through the night on broomsticks. They also don 't live in a big castle or mansion. They walk around as normal people and you wouldn 't be able to tell them apart for anyone else. The art of real witchcraft is one of the oldest practices in the world. “The oldest instruments of the real craft that have been discovered date back to 40,000 years ago, while the practice of real witchcraft dates back to paleolithic times. It is very much a way of life, as you may have heard from the modern followers of Wicca. During the middle ages, and in the event known as The Inquisition, the practice of witchcraft became outlawed throughout most of the Christianized world, an offense punishable by death.”(Caine) A witchcraft frenzy broke out in the early colonial history of America in Salem, Massachusetts. Insane torture tactics were put in by the church to draw out confessions. This period of time is often cited as the start of "the burning times."

The Witch of Blackbird Pond, by Elizabeth George Speare, is a book set in the summer of 1687. This is when people believed in witches and killed many innocent women because of their terrible fear that they would be cursed. This setting will definitely affect the plot because the main character’s actions, while they could be considered normal now, were considered peculiar in the 1600’s. The main character, Kit Tyler, is very bold and independent, and it is shown when she dives over the edge of a boat to save a young girl’s doll that fell into the water. Her daring personality could save or hurt her, and I predict that she will find herself in trouble before long. The book is written in third person, which is helpful because there is less

The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a book by Elizabeth George Speare told in third person limited point of view. This means that the narrator is not in the story, but has access to Kit’s (the main character) actions, thoughts, and feelings. An example of this is on page 112 of the book when the narrator says, “She herself had been eager to learn, scarcely able to wait to open the wonderful volumes in her grandfather’s library.”(Speare 112) This shows her eagerness (feelings) and her thoughts about the volumes in grandfather’s library. Another example of this book’s point of view is when the narrator says, “Kit sat helpless, her cheeks on fire, and then the laughter and the cheering left her giddy as William stepped resolutely forward to claim

Imagine a child that was born with a bright green tint to their skin and had razor sharp teeth. This happened to Melena Thropp in the book The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, written by Gregory McGuire. The Broadway musical “Wicked,” by Winnie Holzman, was based on this novel. When it made its debut it astounded the world as it won many awards. “Wicked” draws in many people because they can relate to the feeling of being ostracized the way Elphaba was. In the 21st century, musicals have progressed along with technology due to the use of new special effects in musicals today.

Title of the Work: Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West

Enter Three Witches by Caroline B. Cooney is a classic take on William Shakespeare's "Macbeth". It focuses less on Macbeth and more on all of the minor characters, even characters not introduced in "Macbeth". The story is told through one omniscient narrator and multiple characters. Though each of the characters have their own lives and responsibilities, they all seem to revolve around to Macbeth. Enter Three Witches is a great book for fan-fiction, but there were two problems. The introdution of characters, and the timeline of Macbeth and Enter Three Witches do not line up, hold this book back from being great.

Historical Fiction in Young Adult books is are far too rare for my taste. I love history, I love fiction, and I love Young Adult literature – why can’t there be more of what I love? Books like this only make me want more and more of what isn’t there….yet. When I found out about The Witch Hunter, and boy let me tell you did I find out a long time ago, I was ecstatic. Not only was it a fantasy novel, it was Historical Fiction set back in a medieval like setting. To be honest, when I read the description of the book I thought it was going to be something reminiscent of the crusades. I do want to point out the fact that the earlier time period was a perfect fit for the overall tone of the story. In this world, all magic is forbidden. If you are caught practicing witch craft or even holding an herb that is considered to be linked to any form of witch craft you were arrested and
