I didn't realize that this was geared towards young adults, lol. This was an okay book - it didn't have anything unique to add but was a decent guide.

I have this idea to create a maker's space and a genius hour in my school. This book will play well with these concepts because it shows youngsters who were able to achieve their dreams and live their passion with the help of the people around the,. Hopefully this book will show that it is ok not to do it alone and that asking adults for help is not a bad thing.

In a world where there is lots of bullying, shaming and belittling especially in the world of teens, a book with the title 'Ignite Your Spark: Discovering Who You Are From the Inside Out' you know that only good can come from it.. The first chapter titled 'What is Your Spark' introduces the reader to the concept of not waiting until your an adult to feel good about yourself but to start loving yourself now.

There are several reasons why I love this book, it is encouraging, the word ignite is used a lot which is powerful and positive, and it gets the teenager to look at failures and to ignite them. One subject that the book talks about is the pressure to conform, it discusses the difference about conformity that is good and conformity that can be damaging to their self. Conformity is huge within society and is becoming more and more damaging and this book helping teens to discover who they are without the pressure of conforming is a positive message that all ages can do with reading.

Other parts of the book that I believe have been done well are that real people that teenagers can relate to are telling their real stories, spark igniters - they give you motivation and ideas, and spark extinguishers which help stamp out the negative thoughts.

This book relates well to both teenagers and adults. With the pressure of society and its opinions on our self worth, any little spark that can help us accept ourselves and walk with an acceptance of who we are is well worth the read. I highly recommend that this book be on your reading list.

the book had good pointers and tips on how to 'ignite your spark' but could have been said with less words equally well

As a teen librarian, I am a huge fan SPARKS. SPARKS allow us to connect and help teens in a way that helps develop them into great adults.

This book was wonderful from beginning to end. This will be a book I reread over and over and over

Ignite Your Spark by Patricia Wooster has an action packed title and colorful cover, but I did not find the content to be very engaging or compelling. In fairness, it might work for middle grades, but seemed a little basic for high school students. More troubling was the emphasis on body image and physical appearance concerns that were referred to regularly. The tone (for example, saying: "a lot has changed since I was in school") and use of second person seemed to further distance the reader. The quizzes and references to more famous people were positives, but seemed dated in some cases (e.g., Aly Raisman and the 2012 - not 2016 - Olympics). Look for The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens instead.
