The Witch’s Prophesy

In a blend of time travel, teen drama, and mystery, The Witch’s Prophesy explores a tale of four modern-day teens who get pulled back into 1689 Salem. Guided by their teacher, the group must navigate historical injustices while overcoming their own personal demons to return home. The story highlights the importance of empathy and teamwork, especially in moments of interpersonal conflict. As a young adult fantasy novel, this work could be used for a novel study to explore character arcs or themes; the short chapters make it easy to read as a class, even with varied reading levels. There are themes of historical persecution and life-or-death decisions that could be concerning for earlier learners, and therefore, full class engagement in this work may require educator facilitation or some historical context provided in advance.
