sarahsbookstack 's review for:

The Burning by Laura Bates
4.0

I want to thank Bibliofinder and Sourcefire books for the free book and the opportunity to review.

Bullying and hate can spread like wildfire. Especially in this day of social media and Photoshop.
Anna made a mistake at her old school but it was spread by some she thought she trusted. The past somehow followers her to her new school. But with the help of a history project, on a woman named Maggie accused of witchcraft in the 1600s, Anna might find the strength and courage to face it down.
I felt bad for her small mistake that wasn't for anyone to know. I felt bad that she didn't have friends to help her stand up against the bullies until near the end. This book will defintely make you think about how you might judge others.
