EDIT:

The Salem Witch Trials is not an effin' book! They were a series of trials for witchcraft in 1692 Salem that condemned 19 innocent people.

Ann Rinaldi has written fiction about the witch panic in Salem. Worthwhile books about the trials include:

The Enemy Within by John Demos

In the Devil's Snare by Mary Beth Norton

Witch Hunt by Marc Aronson

A Fever in Salem by Laurie Carlson.
