<b><i>I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.</i></b>
<i>Spark</i> has such an awkward tension at the beginning, but it is so worth the reading in order to see all of the characters grow by the end of the story. All of the characters in the Advanced Drama class - Quin, Dylan, Cass - are considered to be outsiders compared to their classmates at Verona High. But when Quin's mother decides to revive the old Avery Theater, Quin and her drama class members are all placed in roles they aren't actually comfortable with.

Overall, I love the magic Schindler weaves into her latest book, blending fantasy and contemporary seemlessly and bringing theater to life.

Glad I got to see it before it was gone
My mother took my daughter to see this for her birthday and I tagged along as a fan of the movie and Broadway in general. We made it to one of the last few performances and I am so glad we made it before it closed.

My daughter was part of stage crew at her high school at the time and she was blown away by the set. She would have loved to get the chance to go backstage, not to meet the cast, but the crew, she was so impressed. The most impressive part of the set was Captain Hook's ship. The way it came together, jutting over the stage, and was used as part of the dance routine was breathtaking.

The show follows the movie of the same name starring Johnny Depp which weaves reality with fantasy. It stayed very close to the movie and had some great musical performances.
