Synopsis:
The local Avery Theater was just a run-down building to Quin—until her mother told her the tragic love story of Nick and Emma that played out on the theater’s stage all those years ago. Quin is convinced it’s the perfect story to rewrite for her drama class, but when she goes searching for more information, she makes a startling discovery—the Avery is rapidly regaining its former splendor and setting the stage for her classmates Dylan and Cass to relive Nick and Emma’s romance. Quin can see the spark between them, but it’s up to her to make sure her friends—and the Avery—can both be saved this time around.
I’m a music
junkie—and often hear pop songs running in the back of my mind to fit what’s
currently happening in my life. (This dates me a bit, but when I’m up to my
eyebrows drafting a new project, I usually hear Springsteen’s “Dancing in the
Dark”—there’s even a line in the lyrics about being sick of trying to write a
new book. Not kidding.)
But this playlist—the
playlist for Quin in my latest YA, SPARK—focuses on the music of our daily
lives. Here’s what Quin hears during the most heart-pounding, revealing scenes
in the book:
1.
The burst
and crackle of sparks.
2.
The
rustle of pages caught by the wind.
3.
A voice
from the past crying out, “Star-crossed lovers uncrossed.”
4.
The
clatter of an old movie projector coming to life.
5.
The
shriek of a train whistle as it pulls into a depot that had been closed for
decades…
