Description
When Deliverance “Delli” Willis, an ordinary, almost-sixteen-year-old, finds herself dreaming wild dreams, she’s amazed when some of the stuff appears during her classroom unit on the Salem Witch Trials: When a dream girl of 1692, who shares Deliverance’s name, finds herself entranced by a mysterious man in the woods, Delli finds a new neighbor walking through her family avocado grove.
Eager to share the handsome newcomer with her circle of friends, she doesn’t realize the danger of someone unique entering the closed loop. Fingers point, jealousies surge, lies are cast, sides taken—and people are out for blood. It’s a modern-day witch-hunt that collides with 1692 in ways Delli never dreamed.
It will take lessons from her dreamscape and a stand against bullies to tighten Delli’s faith in our omnipresent God.
Advance Praise
“The Circle Girls: Once Upon A Witch by Anya Novikov is absolutely electrifying! From the very first sentence to the very last I was hooked. I literally couldn't stop reading and wondering what was going to happen next. Every time new similarities between Delli's life and dream girl Deliverance's life popped up I became more and more absorbed.”
~Jessica de La Cruz, 22, avid reader.
"The Circle Girls is one of the most historically accurate novels dealing with the Salem Witch Trials that I have read in my twenty five years of teaching. The details are woven into a fascinating retelling from the point of view of 15-year old Deliverance who dreams the past events into her present high school intrigues. Deliverance, as well as the other characters who populate the worlds of the 17th and 20th centuries, are craftfully and compellingly written.”
~Robin Fontana, educator and doctoral candidate
“Anya Novikov's debut novel mixes religion, relationships and humor in a fast paced story of lies vs. truths, darkness vs. light. It keeps you on the edge of your seat right from the start and doesn't let go. Add in Delli's unusual life style, living on a farm with hippie parents, and you've got a winner. 4 ½ out of five.”
~The Wordsmith Journal Magazine
