Book review2
I read THE WITCHES OF PENDLE. This book was written by Rowena Akinyemi. Jannet Device had grandmother, mother, sister, and brother. Her family was always very poor, and her father died, they were poorer.She was often ill and she was always cold and hungry. They lived in an old house called Malkin Tower. It was dirty and cold. The rain came in through the windows and there were no doors. One day, her sister Alizon wanted to go out to look for bread. Alizon began to go east, and Jannet followed her. They met John Law. John Law was a big fat man, about fifty years old. Alizon called 'Can I have some money,please? I am hungry.' John Law did not answer so Alizon asked him again. He said ' Stop following me and I am not going to give you money.' So Alizon was angry and she cursed him. Because Alizon was witch and her grandmother, mother, and brother were witches, too. Alizon, her grandmother, her mother and her brother had cursed someone so they put into the prison. They were executed. Jannet was take care by Roger Nowell. He was a rich and important man in Lancashire, and he was the judge for all the villages near Pendle Hill. When she lived with her family, she was always hungry and cold, she had no coat and shoes, but since she lived with Nowell, her life changed. She had coat, dress, and shoes, she was not hungry. Jannet was not a witch but a boy said she was a witch. Villager believed his lie so Jannet was put into prison but Mr. Nowell dead so anyone could help her.
