Do You like book Tituba Of Salem Village (1991)?
After three days of my reading time, Tituba despising her new hateful master the miserable, dour Minister Parris, longing for sunny, colorful Barbados, and despising cold, gray and off-putting Salem, I’m giving up, or giving up for now, because I have books about people and situations that I want to read! (Though this is the best book about Tituba.) (Though I did eventually finish this.) This book for young teenagers about Tituba came out the same year as the Civil Rights Act. The author tells the story at a remove, but is very clear that the lying girls and Parris are the villains.

I thought Tituba of Salem Village was a really good read. It was well-written and rolled smoothly along.It was descriptive, which made me enjoy it even more.

I'm surprised this is a children's book because I would have been so bored reading this as kid. Nothing really happens throughout this novel. Tituba is a historical figure because of her role in the Salem witch hunt/witch trials. Unfortunately, nothing eventful, or historically interesting, happens in this book until 155 pages in, and the entire novel is only 250 pages long! A subject rife with intrigue like the Salem witches doesn't need 155 pages of set up to build suspense or interest! The meandering plot doesn't know which way it wants to go, the characters have no character and the writing is not descriptive at all. I would almost prefer Miller's historically inaccurate 'The Crucible' to this story of Tituba.
