The accusations were false, but the terror was all too real. It seemed that if people were not accusing someone of being a witch, they were being accused themselves. In Rosalyn Schanzer’s book Witches! The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem, the history of the Salem Witch Trials is laid out, from those accusing others of working with the devil, to the great lengths some would go to prove that someone was a witch. During this time, there was an epidemic of witch accusations, resulting in many people being put to death. ![]() What if with one statement or random act, a person could be accused of being a witch and sentenced to death?

I loved a lot of the elements around baking, family, and love that featured in this book. I enjoyed both the illustration and the story a lot.Overall this was a wonderful, feel good graphic novel about finding your way and falling in love. The illustration was unique, fun to look at, and easy to follow. Hector is another amazing character and the pure joy he brings to the bakery is fun to watch. Ari can be annoying at times but he is also very sincere. I loved all the baking in here and the way that Ari’s family interacts. Hector absolutely loves baking and having Hector around might be even better for Ari than he knows.This was a very cute, funny, and sweet book about Ari trying to figure out what he wants out of life. This ended up being a sweet, engaging, and heartfelt read that I enjoyed a lot.Ari desperately wants to move to the city with his band, but his dad desperately needs Ari’s help to keep the family bakery going Ari decides to hire a replacement to help his dad, after a bunch of absolutely awful interviews he meets Hector. ![]() Kevin came to writing after years dedicated to comics as a.

Carlingford is a fictional small town with no major industry and the stories focus primarily on the wealthy people of Grange Lane or the tradespeople of the town (there is also a poor district but the characters there never assume prominence). All but one were published in the period 1861-65 (Oliphant was famously prolific), the last, Phoebe Junior, appeared in 1876. Miss Marjoribanks is the sixth of seven Chronicles of Carlingford, which consist of two short stories, The Executor and The Rector, one short novel and four long novels.
