(2) YA In this forceful verse novel, Hemphill gives voice to those who writhed, twitched, and shrieked their way to power during the Salem witch trials. Her plausible interpretation of events is a Puritan Mean Girls, with peer pressure driving the accusers. The poems shift among the perspectives of three girls, and Hemphill succeeds in carving out distinct personalities and motivations for each.
