Hey bookworms, Welcome back to MYABL! Today, I am happy to reveal the cover of a upcoming YA read, Spark by author Holly Schindler! Check it out! All of the juicy details about this novel, as well as the author, are posted below. Keep reading for more. SPARK comes out next year (May 2016)! Make sure you add it to your Goodreads if you'd like to read it. Links for Goodreads and pre-orders are at the end of this post. I'm excited because it has the most amazing elements of Romeo and Juliet wound into it's blurb. Description: Holly Schindler’s Spark: When the right hearts come to the Avery Theater—at the right time—the magic will return. The Avery will come back from the dead. Or so Quin’s great-grandmother predicted many years ago on Verona, Missouri’s most tragic night, when Nick and Emma, two star-crossed teenage lovers, died on the stage. It was the night that the Avery’s marquee lights went out forever. It sounds like urban legend, but one that high school senior Quin is ...
Being a 16-year-old safecracker and active-duty daughter of international spies has its moments, good andbad. Pros: Seeing the world one crime-solving adventure at a time. Having parents with super cool jobs. Cons: Never staying in one place long enough to have friends or a boyfriend. But for Maggie Silver, the biggest perk of all has been avoiding high school and the accompanying cliques, bad lunches, and frustratingly simple locker combinations.
Then Maggie and her parents are sent to New York for her first solo assignment, and all of that changes. She'll need to attend a private school, avoid the temptation to hack the school's security system, and befriend one aggravatingly cute Jesse Oliver to gain the essential information she needs to crack the case . . . all while trying not to blow her cover.

My Review:
Also Known As was a delightful YA reads, packed with witty dialogue and sneakery. No, that is not a word but it should be. I love a good YA spy novel and this one is a jewel amongst the bunch. Reminiscent of books like Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series, Also Known As packs a vibrant main character, the safecracking spy, Maggie into an unknown territory- high school.
Watching her navigate through school and befriend the genuinely sweet Jessie is a fun journey. The main characters and the immediate secondary characters are all fun, unique characters with whom the reader will be sure to fall in love with.
I think my favorite thing about this book was that it was classically YA. It reminded me of the YA I grew up loving and because of that it is a title I will remember.
I give this a high 4 stars and I would definitely recommend it to YA lovers of all ages.
