The Salem Witch Trials: An Unsolved Mystery from History Hardcover - 2004

by Jane Yolen; Heidi E. Stemple; Roger Roth (Illustrator)

In the fourth book of their Unsolved Mystery from History series, the mother-and-daughter duo tackle Puritan New England's biggest mystery: the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Full color.


From the publisher

In this spooky book from the nonfiction An Unsolved Mystery from History picture book series, tragedy strikes Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692 as the community is torn apart by accusations of witchcraft. When a group of girls came down with a horrible, mysterious bout of illness, they pointed the finger at people in their community they claimed were witches. Soon, the whole town was convinced they were in danger from supernatural forces. Today, we have details about the accusations, trials, and those who lost their lives, but the question remains: What caused the mass hysteria? Become a detective, study the clues, and see if you can help solve this chilling mystery from history!

First line

When I grow up, I want to be a detective, just like my dad.
