Each and Every Spark

by Claire Swinarski (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (24)

From the Edgar Award nominated author of What Happened to Rachel Riley? comes an engrossing, timely, and propulsive story of two girls in Paris—one living under Nazi rule in the 1940s; the other in present day—and the mysterious painting that unites them. Perfect for fans of The Bletchley Riddle and When We Flew Away.

Paris, present day. Penny Marks has never felt so alone. Forced to move to France for some fancy job her mom couldn’t turn down, she’s now miles away from her old life. If she hadn’t quit art after all that drama went down last year, she’d at least have something to keep her mind off the fact that life back home is moving on without her.

Paris, 1943. Marie Bonnet has never felt so afraid. When the German army seized power over France, she and her sister Heloise watched their father get taken away, leaving them on their own. Then Marie finds evidence that Heloise has secretly been working for the French Resistance—a group of rebels determined to take the Nazis down—and while it has danger written all over it, she's desperate to join. Any small act of uprising could help their country…but it could also cost them their lives.

Penny and Marie’s worlds collide when an old painting resurfaces in present-day Paris after decades of being hidden. Along with it is a note whose message may lead Penny to Marie…and the fate that awaited her.

Discover more heartfelt stories from Claire Swinarski An engrossing, timely, and propulsive story of two girls in Paris—one living under Nazi rule in the 1940s; the other in present day—and the mysterious painting that unites them. Set at a camp over the course of six summers, this novel dives into the falling-out of two girls from different backgrounds who thought they'd be friends forever. Until a production of Wicked brings all their buried issues to the surface. In this award-winning novel, an eighth grader uses social media posts, passed notes, and other clues to find out why a formerly popular girl is now the pariah of her new school. A young girl throws herself into solving a local mystery to keep from missing her older sister, who has been sent to an eating disorder treatment facility. A twelve-year-old girl must face herself, and the truth, after her participation in a bullying incident goes viral.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Each and Every Spark is an enthralling story of resistance, and a timely reminder: that beauty and truth are worth fighting for, and that the courage to do so transcends generations." - Kate Albus, award winning author of A Place to Hang the Moon

"I was caught up in the interconnected lives of Penny and Marie, two brave and passionate girls living in Paris at two very different times, and the reminder of the role art plays as a messenger of hope and beauty in their world — and ours." - Caroline Starr Rose, author of May B. and The Burning Season

Educational, empathetic, and emotional prose expertly weaves together alternating story lines in a timely and resonant read that offers accessible insight into the impact of war and the importance of art and its ability to sustain people through dark times. - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Well-paced and engaging. A moving story showing that even the smallest sparks of resistance can ignite change." - Kirkus

High stakes elements are balanced with sympathetic adolescent concerns. - Horn Book Magazine

Engaging historical fiction with a contemporary spin and a dash of detective intrigue. - School Library Journal

    I think I preordered this book last July maybe?! I love Claire Swinarski’s books, and this was my favorite middle grade of hers yet! I love the jumps back and forth between the past and the present and the intertwining of these two stories! Highly recommend.

    This is an interesting middle grade story containing two different storylines-present day France and France during World War Two. For those aspiring artists, art is a big part of the story. It is a reminder that one spark can set off a chain reaction. Go start a fire!

    Powerful (and also entertaining!) story of resistance

    Each and Every Spark, by Claire Swinarski, is a masterpiece of both historical and contemporary fiction, as it spins a dual timeline story of two girls desperate to discover their place in the world.

    I’ve always been a total sucker for WWII stories, and that preference has even strengthened as an adult, as I live in a world with so many tensions, prejudices, and injustices of its own. As horrific as the world war was, seeing the beauty and humanity and hand of God throughout it all gives me so much hope for my own present life.

    Claire Swinarski, by telling the story of a contemporary character alongside the story of a historical character, makes that point even more dramatically. Things were bad then. Things are bad now. But each and every human has the ability to make a difference. Every good thing we do, large or small, matters. By diving into both Penny’s and Marie’s stories, Claire subtly whispers to each of her readers: “You, too. You, next. You matter, and you can make a difference.”

    Resistance isn’t always grand and dramatic—in fact, it rarely is. Most often it means sticking to our guns, standing by the oppressed, choosing to spread love and joy instead of hatred and violence—in a million little sparks that add up to a glorious flame.

    On another note, I loved the quiet but strong presence of Marie’s and Penny’s Catholic faith. It was peripheral to the plot, but helped develop who these girls had become—and provided a link to the lives of many young readers of faith who are looking for characters like themselves.

    Parents will want to be aware:

    Like all WWII books, this contains upsetting content. Sensitive children may be very upset by the realities children at the time faced. Hardest for me was the abduction of Marie’s Jewish classmate and a melancholy, if not exactly tragic, ending.

    In the present day section, there is an instance of terrorism.

    One or two instances of God’s name in vain; to me, their addition made sense because of the circumstances.

    Penny makes some foolish decisions—but all of them have clear consequences.

    In my family, this will be for my upper middle grade or teenage readers, but you know your children best!

    This was an excellent story! Good middle grade books are challenging to find, great middle grade books are rare at best. Each and Every Spark was a great one! It seems dual timeline stories are "on trend" in the publishing world right now, but this is the first one I've read that I felt really nailed the device. The pacing was flawless with beautifully executed suspense and character development mixed in to make the reader want to continue. There were no slow spots at all. I absolutely loved the Paris setting, and it came to life in its own way in each timeline: the bright, cheerful atmosphere of the present day and the ominous, gloomier, yet still fully Parisian atmosphere of German-occupied 1944 France. This was a fascinating story about the role of women and children in The Resistance in Paris, and I learned a great deal!

    I do want to give some content warnings, mostly for parents and teachers who are hoping to guage the appropriate age for a child to read this book. None of these would prohibit me recommending the book, just the age at which it should be read. ❤️ I would recommend this story for 5th grade and up independently. Obviously, the historical context lends itself to more mature subject matter, but this was done beautifully and tastefully in a way that honors the past and informs the present.

    Content Warnings:

    -one mention of "period poverty statistics" this is very brief and easily missed

    -MC in present day says something along the lines of, "just because women don't have the right body parts, they don't get recognized for their [art]"

    -the present day MC hates her mother for most of the book, and makes some risky decisions as a result. This is resolved in the end.

    -one time taking the Lord's name in vain

    -in the WW2 POV, an alarming description of a girl near starvation (it wasn't bad or grotesque, it would just be alarming for younger readers)

    -a couple occasions of moderate violence from the Nazis to civilians

    -one Kiss

    *Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this free ARC. The above opinions are completely my own.

    This book follows two girls, one living in present day Paris and another in 1940s Paris. Penny, our modern day narrator is a the child of new expats whose mother works in the art industry while Marie is a girl scrapping to get by with her older sister during the Nazi invasion of France. One piece of art connects the girls in a heartbreaking way. The Paris setting comes to life wonderfully in this story and Marie’s timeline–which I found more compelling at times–explores the work of child and women spies during the time period. Swinarski asks readers to consider the power of art and all the ways it, while seemingly unassuming, can be a form of resistance.
