Book Review: WICKED GIRLS

Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill takes place during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Seven girls, ranging in age from eight to eighteen years old, all pretend that they are constantly tortured by witches. They accuse people over and over of being witches, leading to many people being hanged and several others locked in prison. They have to work hard to keep their lie alive..

If you are into historical fiction or the Salem Witch Trials, this is the book for you. It is written 100% in poems, which makes it sort of confusing. It is also written in the way they would've talked back then, and there are some words that I had to look up in a dictionary. Overall, though, this was a really enjoyable read.

Would I recommend it to a friend?: Only to one who enjoys reading poetry. If you don't 'get' poetry, you might want to try another book.

Oh yeah,
