Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Role-playing takes on a terrifying cast when 17-year-old Sarah, who is posing as a fortune-teller for a school fair, begins to see actual visions that can predict the future. Frightened, the other students brand her a witch, setting off a chain of events that mirror the centuries-old Salem witch trials in more ways than one.



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Very haunting
I requested this book, not realizing it was a young adult book. I am 25 , so I typically dont read young adult books, but I went ahead with this one. I have to say I really enjoyed it, and even had a hard time putting it down. I give it 5 stars, for being well written and interesting.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Good ol' revisitation of Salem
This is one of my absolute favorites by Duncan. I read it in high school and was hooked to every word. Goodness, but why can't horror writers for teens write like this anymore?! It is an absolutey fascinating story that is the perfect guilty pleasure or companion for a stormy night. It was everything a good story needs: a bit of Salem Witch Trial history, romance, teen angst, and Duncan's brilliant way of bringing out everyone's psychological moves without dragging down the story. The sheer supernatural flavor of the dreams was a brilliant touch, and Duncan once again combines nervous, self-conscious teenagers with brooding horror.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Suspensful....
This is probably the most supsensful book I have ever read, I was always "interested" in what happened with the Salem Witch Trials but never really got around to reading anything about it. This book got me started!! I finished it within two days and decided that for my history project (it was 5 months away) I was going to do it on The Salem Witch Trials. Those five months I researched all about them till I almost knew it by heart. I will soon be reading other books involving the Salem Witch Trials : A Break with Charity by Ann Rinaldi and The Sacrifice by Kathleen Benner Duble. I cannot wait to start reading Lois Duncan's other suspense novels!! Please read this!! Trust me it WON't waist your time.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - This is the very first Lois Duncan book that I have read and it's got me hooked on her books!
This story starts with an unusual paperweight that an old woman bought at a shop. She looked into it and when she died she had all of her affairs in order. Now it falls into the hands of her granddaughter, Sarah. Sarah saw a reflection of a orange dress in her mothers mirror before she bought it. She saw Charlie fall down the stairs before it happend. Is Sarah a witch? Or is she just losing her mind? A great read, and 110% recommened!





Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Barbara's Review
The book was ok. It wasn't the best though. It was kind of boring.
Sarah and her mother have moved to Pine Crest. Her mother's boyfriend has a daughter who Sarah doesn't really like. Sarah is a fortuneteller in the Halloween Festival and actually sees something in the glass paperweight. Then what she sees really happens! She gets totally creped out. Eric thinks it would be cool to open a fortunetelling booth to make a little money. Soon people start to think that she's a witch. First she finds a picture of a gallows. Then she finds a dead crow! In her locker! Is she really a witch? What will happen to her?
The type of person who would like this book is someone who is interested in witch hunting. That is mainly all they talk about nearer to the end of the book.
