History Smashers: Salem Witch Trials

"Bust some of history's biggest myths and learn the truth about the Salem witch trials"--

Myths! Lies! Secrets! Uncover the hidden truth about the Salem Witch Trials in the hit History Smashers nonfiction series. Perfect for fans of the I Survived books and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales.

In 1692, a few paranoid Puritans accused their neighbours of being witches, sending the town flying off the (broomstick) handle. Before it was all over, dozens of women in Salem, Massachusetts, were executed—burned at the stake. RIGHT?

WRONG! There was some serious witch worry, but no one in the United States was put on a pyre (though the truth isn't much better). And women weren't the only ones caught in the crossfire... maybe don't read this one aloud to your dog.

What really happened? The truth is historians aren't totally sure. But it is certain that religious beliefs, a changing world, and a few super nosy neighbours collided to spell disaster for one New England town. No joke!

From award-winning author Kate Messner comes the acclaimed nonfiction series that demolishes everything you thought you knew about history. Bust more puzzles of the past in History Smashers—Christopher Columbus and the Taino People, The Mayflower, and The Underground Railroad, among others!
