The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Katherine Howe

Great book club pick for October and anyone looking for an alternative take on the Salem Witch Trials.  Imagine if it wasn't moldy bread at work with those girls and their fits but actual witchcraft?  And then imagine if that witchcraft were written down in a book...  Oh, the possibilities!

A fun and light read refreshingly filled with sophisticated words - a nice change after so many YA novels of late.  Although the characters were a bit predictable at times with little depth, the story is one that holds your interest until the end.
