Different, Not Dangerous: The Salem Witch Trials

Seekonk, MA – What makes an outsider a stranger? What makes a stranger a threat? Come to Seekonk Public Library on Monday, August 14 at 6:30 PM to hear Seekonk High School 9th grader Juliana Centracchio discuss her original novel, Abigail: A Witch of the Woods. Centering around a little-known historical figure, an outspoken teenaged girl named Abigail Hobbs, the novel tracks the events leading up to the Salem Witch Trials and questions the historical and social context that made such horrors possible—even, some might say, inevitable. Q&A and refreshments to follow.
This program is free and open to tweens and teens in rising grades 6 and up as well as adults. Please register through the Events Calendar at www.seekonkpl.org/events.
