Spark by Sarah Beth Durst (from a Two Thumbs Up reviewer)
Sunday, Jan 26, 2020 at 12:45pmSpark is about a quiet farm girl named Mina, who learns even the quietest have a voice. It takes place in a land called Aloria where Mina and her friends Pixit, Chauda and Jyx, get inducted into Mystris Lightning School for lightning guardians. The main character, Mina is shy, but when she speaks, people listen. She will need to use her voice to make the Alorians realize there is an outside of Aloria, but what exactly? This is a third-person book and I think it's good for readers who like school-drama and adventure (and a slight bit of rule breaking). I liked the book because it has a fun plot and cool characters!

When a shy girl and her dragon-like companion discover their country's idyllic weather comes at a steep--and secret--cost, they recruit fellow students to defy authority and attempt to spread the truth.
Storm beasts and their guardians create perfect weather every day, and Mina longs for a storm beast of her own. But when the gentle girl bonds with a lightning beast--a creature of fire and chaos--everyone's certain it's a mistake. Everyone but Mina and the beast himself, Pixit. Quickly enrolled in lightning school, Mina struggles to master a guardian's skills, and she discovers that her country's weather comes at a devastating cost--a cost powerful people wish to hide. Mina's never been the type to speak out, but someone has to tell the truth, and, with Pixit's help, she resolves to find a way to be heard.
