Description: "I love a well-built world, and this is as deep, delightful, and lived-in as any I've visited. It's a place where combating terrible evil requires not just magic but music, friendship, and an abiding love of books. I hope SPARKERS is just our first foray into Glewwe's imagination; I'm already ready to visit again!" - Rachel Hartman , author of TheNewYork Times bestseller Seraphina " Sparkers will draw readers in to an incredible world where magic is real-and dangerous-but a brave pair of kids can make all the difference. The twists and turns and surprises kept me riveted all the way to the end." - Margaret Peterson Haddix , author of The New York Times bestselling series The Missing "Rich with music, magic, and devotion to friends and family, the world of Sparkers will ignite your imagination." - Ingrid Law , author of the Newbery Honor Book Savvy "In the entrancing Sparkers , terrible secrets are hidden among lost spells, forgotten languages, and forbidden books, and still one beautiful truth shines clearly through: Adults may have all the power, but it's kids who can change the world. I loved this book."- Anne Ursu , author of Breadcrumbs * "Social injustice is a rare theme in middle-grade fantasy, but Glewwe conveys the insidious poison of prejudice by grounding the narrative in evocative details. . . A compelling story on a difficult topic, addressed with maturity and grace." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review "This book holds all that fantasy readers could desire: magic, intrigue, mysterious characters, ancient curses, and a dark evil that must be defeated. Not everything is wrapped up neatly, and the various characters are multilayerd, neither all good nor all bad. A worthy and worthwhile stand-alone book in a genre so often serialized."- School Library Journal "Marah is a fully realized character, a young woman with intelligence, curiosity, conviction, and fierce loyalty to her loved ones. A rich cast of supporting characters gives Marah's world a very realistic complexity that goes beyond good and evil. . . . Will please socially conscious readers with a taste for light fantasy." - VOYA "Strong, believable characters and an important message. . . Middle-school novels rarely address social injustice so clearly, and this first novel does so in a way that empowers young people to think of ways to make a difference." - Booklist
