A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll

5.0

This was an amazing middle grade story that shows, so well, what it means to be shoved into a box you don't fit in. McNicoll wove the history of the witch trials in a small town outside of Edinburgh expertly into an autistic girl's struggles and successes with family, friendship, and school. The story is so realistic and moving, I couldn't find fault with it and immediately went to look for more by this author.
