I bought this because I teach English as a Second Language, and have to teach my high schoolers The Crucible. While it is not supposed to be that play, it is very very close. Some of the same do not match up with the story, however, which confused my students (I crossed those out and wrote them in). It is a descent summary though. I would have liked it to be a bit longer and more detailed, but it is good for a basic understanding.
These graphic history books (there is a whole series) are well loved by my elementary aged kids. The topic is given enough depth to be interesting, but not too much. These are great for reluctant readers, and are a good introduction or more in depth study to the part of history they cover.
This is a perfect book for the middle school student of history. The young students inquisitive mind can learn quickly the basics of this fascinating part of American history. All of the key facts, coupled with the graphic novel approach provide for a good understanding and entertaining view of history, that literally comes to life. The colorful, illustrations by Brian Bascle are dramatic and full of expression depicting the torment and anguish of the accussed. The righteouness, almost to the point of evil, of the accussers is likewise portrayed graphically. Included is a small glossary, internet sites for further study and a bibliography. There are several books suggested for further reading like Witch-Hunt: Mysteries of the Salem Witch Trials. This book is perfect for a student whose first language is not English or the reluctant reader. Recommended for middle school and community libraries.
