    A Kind of Spark
    Wie unsichtbare Funken
    • Addie weiß genau, wer sie ist. Sie weiß, dass ihr Lieblingsbuch das Synonymlexikon ist, dass Haie cooler sind, als alle denken, und sie weiß, dass sie die Welt oft intensiver als andere Menschen wahrnimmt. Ob Licht, Geräusche oder Gefühle, Addie wird schnell alles zu viel. Dann fühlt es sich an, als würden unsichtbare Funken um ihren Körper kreisen. Als Addie in der Schule von der Hexenverfolgung in ihrem Heimatort Juniper erfährt, kann sie die Ungerechtigkeit kaum glauben. Vor Hunderten von Jahren wurden Mädchen fälschlicherweise als Hexen verurteilt, und das nur, weil sie anders waren als die anderen. Genau wie Addie. Doch Addie weiß, dass mehr hinter den Mädchen steckt, als in den Geschichtsbüchern steht. Sie fordert, ein Denkmal für sie zu errichten. Die Menschen in Juniper sind alles andere als begeistert, doch Addie ist fest entschlossen, zu kämpfen. Für die Mädchen von damals und für sich selbst.
