In The Spark, Trevor Stubbs continues and concludes his White Gates Adventures series with a new standalone fantasy novel. Shaun, now aged 20, has never been as quick or confident as his elder sister Kakko, or as bright as his younger brother, Bandi. He has been the steady quiet one, opting for youth and community studies. But circumstances now threaten to destroy Shaun's way of life. How does he cope with the traumas that come his way?


The Spark celebrates the gift of love that offers an opportunity for healing, and addresses issues of mental health, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and identity. Trevor's latest novel also has its lighter parts. There is humour and many of the fun elements of adventure and romance as, by means of the mysterious white gates, readers explore new places and revisit some old ones.



The White Gates Adventures series will appeal to young adults, as well as readers who enjoy engaging with young people as they tussle with the conundrums of our existence.
