This book is perfect for that purpose. I read it a few years ago. 


Conversion by Katherine Howe.

When girls start experiencing strange tics and other mysterious symptoms at Colleen's high school, her small town of Danvers, Massachusetts, falls victim to rumors that lead to full-blown panic, and only Colleen connects their fate to the ill-fated Salem Village, where another group of girls suffered from a similarly bizarre epidemic three centuries ago.

Subject: [CASL-L] looking for book suggestions--HS level
 

Hello colleagues—

 

I am looking for books that 11th grade students can read in conjunction with The Crucible, not necessarily about the Salem Witch Trials, but along the same themes of paranoia, fear, persecution/prejudice, hysteria, lies, rumors, moral corruption, etc.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Casey LaPlante
