An Outbreak of Witchcraft: A Graphic Novel of the Salem Witch Trials

Have you ever heard about the Salem witch trials? In 1692, Salem, Massachusetts was rocked by mass hysteria for an entire year. Four young girls came down with affliction and started accusing people of being witches. One thing led to another, and soon there were mass hysteria and hundreds of people were accused of witchcraft. Many were hung to their death.

This is a great nonfiction graphic novel that will introduce and teach you about the Salem witch trials. I enjoy nonfiction graphic novels because they are educational and can teach you an important subject matter through art. However, I did find the story/writing very hard to follow at times and confusing. I had to reread several scenes over again to figure out what was happening. While the character glossary was very helpful, I did have to reference it quite a bit because I had a hard time distinguishing all the characters. Recommended to teens and older who enjoy history or nonfiction books.
