They were stolen from him! And if Angie isn't careful, she could be next! An adventurous tale of wonder, The Lost Spark celebrates the magic of childhood - the fantasy of imagination, the darkness of the unknown, and the beauty of friendship that knows no bounds. Prepare to enter a world both familiar and new, and one that you'll never want to leave.

New York Times bestselling and award winning writer J.T. Krul brings you the second chapter in the Lost Spark saga. Angie MacKensie knows a secret that her friends in high school don't. Toys are magic. That stuffed animal that protected you as you slept. The bulldozer that helped you build an empire in the sandbox. The toy soldier who joined you on covert missions in the backyard. The butterfly princess who taught you how to fly. It was all real, but people forgot. Not Angie, though. She remembered. She found her spark again, and she's not the only one. There are others out in the world that know how to unlock the magic of their most cherished toys, including a boy named Colin, who may or may not be more than a friend. Angie used to feel alone and empty, especially after the death of her mother, but now she feels alive and energized. And that's a good thing because as the school year begins, she will be forced to deal with more than just the trials and tribulations that come with being a teenager. Angie must confront an all-consuming demon of shadow and darkness that is more terrifying than anything she could possibly imagine. Beware the Boogeyman! The Lost Spark was just the beginning. Fall is in the air. It's time for Halloween. It's time for Masks and Monsters.
