Review previously placed on my blog:

I have read A kind of spark by Elle McNicoll. I read a copy from the library. Read this one, because it was recommended to me for the autistic representation. This is a middle grade contemporary book.

This was absolutely amazing! I loved this so much. The story itself was a tough read, because there was a lot of bullying and ableism. But I just loved the representation a lot. I could really see myself in the main character. It helps that the author herself is autistic as well, so she just knows what she is writing. Very glad I finally found a book with good autistic representation.
