Beyond the Burning Time

They say something very strange is happening to some of the people of Salem. That some of the young girls have become — troubled. And the fear is beginning to spread. Mary and her mother don't hear about the rumors right away. They don't know that many of the villagers believe that some of Mary's friends have had spells cast on them — by witches. Or that one of the accused is Mary's mother.

Now Mary and her brother, Caleb, have a decision to make: Are the villagers right? Or is their mother innocent? And if she is — can they help her escape before it's too late?
