Holly Schindler’s Spark : When the right hearts come to the Avery Theater—at the right time—the magic will return. The Avery will come back from the dead. Or so Quin’s great-grandmother predicted many years ago on Verona, Missouri’s most tragic night, when Nick and Emma, two star-crossed teenage lovers, died on the stage. It was the night that the Avery’s marquee lights went out forever. It sounds like urban legend, but one that high school senior Quin is now starting to believe, especially when her best friend, Cass, and their classmate Dylan step onto the stage and sparks fly.

However, it hinges on one thing—that Quin gets the story right this time around. Holly Schindler brings the magic of the theater to life in this tale of family ties, fate, love, and one girl’s quest to rewri...
