While apparently a sequel of Jeff Smith's celebrated "Bone" comic book series, Quest for the Spark is in many ways an original story that happens to be set in Smith's "Bone" world. New author Tom Sniegoski chooses to focus on a cast of mostly new characters (although the two educationally disabled Rat Creatures from Smith's original stories return), allowing him to create a story that can be read on its own. This seems to have both advantages and disadvantages, because while Sniegoski can take his tale in a different direction from Smith's saga, he also spends much of this first book introducing the new characters and setting up the basic plotline, which can slow down the pace of the initial chapters. Either way, the story is time consuming and offers much of the same mix of dumb humor while still keeping a life-or-death drama tone that made Smith's original series so fun to

Faith, simple small five-letter word but has a colossal critical meaning. Faith means to have complete trust or confidence in someone or something, simply believing. The author believes that having faith is very important and which is an essential necessity of life. In both texts, "Night" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" faith is tested during their experiences and torture that they endured during a traumatic era. The two texts make one wonder how anyone could continue to have faith within themselves and others during complicated, critically life-threatening times. These two selections show us that no matter the circumstance or how tough and traumatizing a situation can become that one is to always believe and maintain faith within God, yourself and others. Both texts shows that faith and believing can change things and get you farther through a critical situation. In both Elie Wiesel's "Night" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," the theme of faith is developed through friendship, fear and innocence.
