Hats off to Rose Wong, whose amazing artwork will stretch end-to-end on the final jacket (which I've included at the bottom of this post). She did a great job of capturing the story's essence. And hats off to Shauna for the awesome new title, but then, we're not surprised I couldn't come up with one, are we? :)
I'm sure I'll host an ARC giveaway--or two or three--at some point in the future, but if you've ever wanted to say thank you for anything you've found on the blog, a great way to do it would be to pre-order Steve and/or add him on Goodreads. It feels weird to type that, so I'm going to leave it right there, but just in case you are interested, here are the sales links:
*whistles, walks away*
It's been a while since I've blogged about Steve, so if you have any questions about where he's at (or where he's been), feel free to lay them on me!
What a great cover! You must be thrilled. I love the way there are both similarities and differences between the two lines of houses. And the title sets off well against the yellow background. I find font choice very interesting and I really like the one they used on your title (which is a really cool new title!)
ReplyDeleteI loooooooove this! Yay for covers.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing! I love it. It's so original, just like your book is I'm sure:) Off to go pre-order....
ReplyDeleteIt's so, so lovely! So happy for you, Krista. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I've been paying more attention to title fonts lately, and I agree that this one was a great choice. In addition to standing out against the background, it also stands out against the more serious illustrations. It's a nice combination.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marisa! And I know it's a ways off, but I'm looking forward to seeing yours.
THANK YOU, JESSIE!
Thanks, Kristin! I think it turned out rather well:)
How exciting, it's really happening! It looks wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteChris posted this on FB and I am so glad that he did! I am so excited for your book to come out! Congratulations to my favorite sister! The cover looks AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Krista, it's fantastic. I love the colors, the font, the title--everything. (And I totally just had to turn my laptop upside down to look at the top part. :) ) I will absolutely be preordering from my local indie as soon as they allow it!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover, Krista! It's super eye-catching and unique and I love the way the illustration is carried through the entire book jacket. Can't wait to read this one! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm a sucker for buildings, so this is super great!
ReplyDeleteIs that my aunt Jan?! Thanks for stopping by (and commenting)!
ReplyDeleteHeather! I've got family members coming out of the woodwork;) I think it's pretty awesome, too.
I turned my laptop upside down, too, Tara:) (And a present thanks for that future pre-order!)
That's one of the things I love about MG, Noelle--the illustrated covers! And I especially love how this one turned out:)
I'm a sucker for architecture, too, Leandra, which is one of the things I love about this cover. (And the old-fashioned department store on the back? That and Ella Mae's house are my two favorites.)
Krista! This cover is amazing! I love the full spread, and I love the warm colors. I would definitely pick this up on a shelf if I saw it
ReplyDeleteI love your cover. The book will appeal to boys as well as girls. Boys are always a challenge.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you. Will get on Goodreads and put it on my list of want to reads.
Ooh, I love this so much! And I've pre-ordered, too! Yay!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I love it! :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it, Sarah! And I agree that the color palette is spot-on.
ReplyDeleteI love it, too, Laura (and I hope you're right about the whole boys-versus-girls thing). Thanks for adding it on Goodreads!
Oh, you're the best, Michelle. Thank you!
Thanks, Myrna! I thought you would:)
