It started when two girls, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, began having hysterical fits. Soon after, other local girls claimed they were being pricked with pins. With no scientific explanation available, the residents of Salem came to one conclusion: it was witchcraft  Over the next year and a half, nineteen people were convicted of witchcraft and hanged while more languished in prison as hysteria swept the colony. Author Joan Holub gives readers and inside look at this sinister chapter in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16141388\"\u003eJoan Holub\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11413835\"\u003eWho Hq\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Young Readers Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.10w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780448479057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0448479052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JNF\"\u003eJuvenile Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JNF025190\"\u003eHistory | United States | Colonial \u0026amp; Revolutionary Periods\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-JNF\"\u003eJuvenile Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-JNF007020\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography | Historical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoan Holub is the author of \u003ci\u003eWhat Was the First Thanksgiving?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat Was the Gold Rush?\u003c\/i\u003e, and other \u003ci\u003eWho Was...?\u003c\/i\u003e titles, including \u003ci\u003eWho Was Marco Polo?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWho Was Babe Ruth? \u003c\/i\u003eShe lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Young Readers Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48107792236781,"sku":"9780448479057","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_7cd0fa47-f905-41f0-84eb-6e4e43492301.jpg?v=1747553508","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/what-were-the-salem-witch-trials-9780448479057","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
