What is Kind Of Spark about?

Eleven-year-old Addie, an autistic girl from a small Scottish village, learns about historical witch trials where women were persecuted for being different. Recognising parallels to her own experiences, she campaigns for a memorial to honour these women, facing challenges from her community. Through determination and the support of her sister and a new friend, Addie strives to make her voice heard and bring about change.
