SPARK

Possession meets Shakespeare in Love in critically acclaimed author Holly Schindler’s latest story about Quin, who is convinced the local theater is setting the stage for her two classmates to relive a romance from their town’s past.

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 is the perfect story to rewrite for her drama class, but when she goes searching for more information, the Avery looks a lot less decrepit than she expected. In fact, the theater is rapidly regaining its former splendor.

As the Avery Theater begins to reawaken, Quin cannot help but notice that her classmates Dylan and Cass are sharing a storyline that seems to be eerily similar to Nick and Emma’s. Quin can see the spark between them, but it is up to her to rewrite the script to make sure her friends – and the forgotten theater – can both be saved this time around.
