Young Adults, Adults

The historical fiction is accurate as well as the plot twists. The characters are very believable and the sub-theme of women independence is fantastic.

The only thign I didn't like was that I loved the ending

I told everyone about it.

It made me feel very young in the snese that I've never had to make as hard as chocies as Abigail did.

Kathleen Duble, but I haven't read any of her other books.

It's a good read, teaches a little about the Salem witch trials and how they actually worked, and plot is amazing.

The Sacrifice is one of the best YA novels I've ever read.
