Recently transplanted from New York City, Sam and her stepmother are not exactly welcomed with open arms. Sam is the descendant of Cotton Mather, one of the men responsible for those trials—and almost immediately, she becomes the enemy of a group of girls who call themselves the Descendants. And guess who their ancestors were?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf dealing with that weren’t enough, Sam also comes face to face with a real, live (well, technically dead) ghost. A handsome, angry ghost who wants Sam to stop touching his stuff. But soon Sam discovers she is at the center of a centuries-old curse affecting anyone with ties to the trials. Sam must come to terms with the ghost and find a way to work with the Descendants to stop a deadly cycle that has been going on since the first accused witch was hanged. If any town should have learned its lesson, it’s Salem. But history may be about to repeat itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e“It’s like \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eMean Girls\u003c\/span\u003e meets history class in the best possible way.” —\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSeventeen Magazine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Mather shines a light on the lessons the Salem Witch Trials can teach us about modern-day bullying—and what we can do about it.” —\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eBustle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Strikes a careful balance of creepy, fun, and thoughtful.” —\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eNPR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Ember","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42866594644048,"sku":"9781537987705B","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781537987705-l.jpg?v=1788307087","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/how-to-hang-a-witch-bk-1","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
