"Other people's minds are limited. Yours is enormous. It has room for everything and everyone. No, you don't want to be like others." Andy knows exactly who she is. Andy knows that sharks are far more interesting than dolphins, she knows her favorite words in her treasure chest, and she also knows that her two older sisters are completely opposite of each other. And when Andy learns about the witch trials that took place in the village where she was born, she understands that their story is much more complicated than it seems, just like her own. As Andy tries to persuade her fellow villagers to create a monument for the "witches," can she change the way they see her? "A Spark is Enough" is a story about courage, friendship, and what it means to be different.
