From bestselling author Scott Peters and Salem Witch whiz Juliet Fry comes a gripping retelling of the Salem Witch Trials for modern young readers.

One stormy night, Hannah, a young orphan, is frightened by the sight of witches' fingers tapping at her bedroom window. Are they real or just a trick of the moon? The next morning, her best friend says a witch's spirit attacked her in the dark. Hannah is alarmed. Could this be true? When a neighbor's child begins acting strangely, villagers are sure that witchcraft is at work. Suspicions begin to swirl in Salem and Hannah finds herself caught in the crosshairs. But she's no witch! Hannah is a brave but scared colonial girl working as a servant in a farmhouse, with no one to protect her. She's out of her element. Can she escape disaster?

This is the 6th children's book in the I Escaped Series about brave boys and girls who face real-world challenges and find ways to escape disaster. Sure to appeal to fans of New York Times Bestseller Lauren Tarshis's I Survived Series, The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare, Little Witch by Anna Elizabeth Bennett, What Were The Salem Witch Trials, and The Witches by Roald Dahl.

The short chapters make for easy wins, and Hannah's gripping situation keeps even reluctant readers turning pages to find out what's will happen next.

Great for kids book clubs and classrooms. A study guide is available at scottpetersbooks.com/worksheets

• A fact section about the Salem Witch trials that's sure to satisfy curious minds.
