We're reading the A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll. Pick up your copy at the front desk of the library starting March 5 and come to book club ready to chat about the book! We'll talk books, have a snack, and do an activity. Open to readers ages 8-12.
A KIND OF SPARK tells the story of 11-year-old Addie as she campaigns for a memorial in memory of the witch trials that took place in her Scottish hometown. Addie knows there’s more to the story of these ‘witches’, just like there is more to hers. Can Addie challenge how the people in her town see her, and her autism, and make her voice heard? A story about friendship, courage and self-belief, perfect for fans of The Goldfish Boy. “Definitive and funny” Susin Nielsen “A fabulous, brilliant debut” Lisa Thompson
