loved the book

loved the book so much because it was different from any book i read so far. Claire is a 16-year old living on her own with her dad after her mother ran off to join some New Age group. as she is trying to move on from the situation and the loneliness of not being able to make friends, she starts having dreams about the past to early 17th century Salem where the witch trials occur dreaming of a girl accused of being a witch and was hanged for the accusation along with her familiar, her cat Leo. Claire later discovers that she is the reincarnation of the accused girl and must find the answers of why someone wants to hurt her and why her mother left her. this is a really truly great book because the plot is different from other books there is a book 2 and three the second book called the warding of willowmere which is only available in Canada at the moment and the third book doesnt have a title yet as it is coming out in January 2005. cant wait to read the 2nd book

I won't tell you, you need to read this excellent book yourself. The first in a series of chronicles, this book was published some time ago in Canada, and is very good. Alison Baird brings a new view into the world of magic, with a main character, that is not your typical teenager.

An Excellent Read!

This book was very exciting and thrilling. I couldn't put it down and read it in only 2 days. I would recommend this book for all teenage girls.
