Perfect for readers of Song for a Whale and Counting by 7s, a
neurodivergent girl campaigns for a memorial when she learns that her
small Scottish town used to burn witches simply because they were
different.
A must-read for students and adults alike. -School Library Journal,
Starred Review
Ever since Ms. Murphy told us about the witch trials that happened
centuries ago right here in Juniper, I can't stop thinking about them.
Those people weren't magic. They were like me. Different like me.
I'm autistic. I see things that others do not. I hear sounds that they
can ignore. And sometimes I feel things all at once. I think about the
witches, with no one to speak for them. Not everyone in our small town
understands. But if I keep trying, maybe someone will. I won't let the
witches be forgotten. Because there is more to their story. Just like
there is more to mine.
Award-winning and neurodivergent author Elle McNicoll delivers an
insightful and stirring debut about the European witch trials and a girl
who refuses to relent in the fight for what she knows is right.
