Tituba of Salem Village by Ann Petry

Tituba, the minister's slave, gazed into the stone watering trough. She did not see her own reflection. Instead, she saw a vision of herself, surrounded by angry people. The people were staring at her. Their faces showed fear. That was several years ago. It is now 1692, and there is strange talk in Salem Village. Talk of witches. Several girls have been taken with fits, and there is only one explanation: Someone in the village has been doing the devil's work. All eyes are on Tituba, the one person who can tell fortunes with cards, and who can spin a thread so fine it must be magic. Did Tituba see the future that day at the watering trough? If so, Could she actually be hanged for practicing witchcraft?

Ann Petry was the critically praised author of The Street, a ground-breaking literary masterpiece on life in Harlem that has sold over a million copies. Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad, the narrative of the bold and heroic lady who suffered and battled for her people before and during the Civil War, was one of her many works for young readers.
