Spark

By: Sarah Beth Durst

Narrated by: Eevin Hartsough

When a shy girl and her dragon-like companion discover their country’s idyllic weather comes at a steep - and secret - cost, they recruit fellow students to defy authority and attempt to spread the truth.

Storm beasts and their guardians create perfect weather every day, and Mina longs for a storm beast of her own. But when the gentle girl bonds with a lightning beast - a creature of fire and chaos - everyone’s certain it’s a mistake. Everyone but Mina and the beast himself, Pixit. Quickly enrolled in lightning school, Mina struggles to master a guardian’s skills, and she discovers that her country's weather comes at a devastating cost - a cost powerful people wish to hide. Mina’s never been the type to speak out, but someone has to tell the truth, and, with Pixit’s help, she resolves to find a way to be heard.

love a good story about dragons

this was a great listen, I couldn't stop, I went through it far too fast. I loved the elemental take on dragons, I hope this turns into a series.

Adorable book!

This was such a cute book. I read it for Oregon Battle of the Books and am always happy when there is one that I know the kids will love! Such wonderful lessons of friendship and courage. Even made me think of how I can help those around me even if it seems hard. Excited for the students to read it!

The quiet ones have the loudest voices

I loved it! At first I wasn’t sure but as the story went I fell in love with it and the characters. I’d love to read more about them.

LOVE. IT.

Mina, a shy girl, reminds me a lot of myself. I’m always looking for a way to hide away in my shell. But after listening to this book, I’ve been able to face me fears much more. The author’s writing style really makes this book what it is. Her use of words is amazing! The storyline is so well plotted and planned!
PLEASE, PLEASE, buy this book. You won’t regret it.

AMAZING 🥰

One of the best books I have ever heard! I read it first, and then I found this version on audible and I LOVE this book! Reader was hard to get used to, though
