The unhappier he grows, the stranger things become--mischief and chaos seem to bloom everywhere. His sister Verity is sure it is the work of a \"nouka,\" an ancient creature that lives deep down inside the hill above the town--a creature forged from the sparks of a long-extinct volcano. Jem is adamant that there is no such thing. But it is through the magic and mayhem of this small mystical creature that Jem finally finds a sense of belonging, a sense of home--and once again discovers a spark of magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walker Books Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536233933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Maggie O'Farrell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45078856794293,"sku":"9781536233933","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e8cfcc31-67d4-4915-af4d-e2fc2ae31813.jpg?v=1738681887","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-boy-who-lost-his-spark-9781536233933","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
