I think this would be too difficult ...Hi Mary Ann,<br /><br />I think this would be too difficult for 8th graders. The main character is a graduate student and her level of research and the vocabulary used in the book definitely reflect this. There were times that I wanted to have a dictionary handy as I was reading.<br /><br />I know I read some pretty adult books when I was in 8th grade but I think this one would have been a bit beyond me.<br /><br />I hope that helps.LibraryGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228787848421626358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295190067300160916.post-58388063859764168242009-06-16T14:49:53.779-05:002009-06-16T14:49:53.779-05:00Thanks for an interesting review.

I'm curious if you think this would appeal to 8th graders (up to age 14). <br /><br />I'm a librarian at a k-8 library, and curious whether we should add it to our collection.Mary Ann Scheuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592162867997740561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295190067300160916.post-21375426001715331172009-05-08T18:57:00.000-05:002009-05-08T18:57:00.000-05:00Heard so much about this book, enjoyed your review...Heard so much about this book, enjoyed your review.<br /><br />thanks for mentioning Royal Reviews over at J.Kaye's book blogTeddyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553244883194436385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295190067300160916.post-40073822183022795632009-05-08T17:13:00.000-05:002009-05-08T17:13:00.000-05:00I'm not sure I would consider Connie dense as much...I'm not sure I would consider Connie dense as much as in denial. I think she definitely had the feeling that there was something unusual going on with the things that happen to her and as she delves into her family history but she doesn't put the pieces together because she doesn't want to believe it.LibraryGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228787848421626358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295190067300160916.post-23942388260445969632009-05-08T16:57:00.000-05:002009-05-08T16:57:00.000-05:00I got this through B&N's First Look as wel...I got this through B&N's First Look as well. I enjoyed it but thought Connie could be a little dense at times. I liked the twist that her ancestors were really witches. Most books I read about the Salem witch trials are innocent and you are reading about the effects on their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
