The Books Oracle

A Kind of Spark

by Elle McNicoll

Eleven-year-old Addie, who is autistic, campaigns for a memorial to honor the Scottish women and girls accused of witchcraft and executed centuries ago. Her passion for justice and historical truth leads her into conflict with those who dismiss her ideas because of her neurodivergence. McNicoll, herself autistic, creates an empowering story about standing up for what's right and challenging societal prejudices.
