Thoughts on Middle-Grade Book Cover
Hi everyone! I recently published my first book, a Christmas-themed middle-grade story about two boys: a bully who has only played the role of king in every school nativity play, and a new transfer student who becomes the target of that bullying. Enter a new drama teacher, who completely flips the script, changing the boys' world upside down, and the story explores how the two will handle the chaos that ensues. Besides being a writer, I'm a huge reader, and I totally judge books by their covers and blurbs. I hired an illustrator to design the cover and worked hard to make it look like something that I would actually pick to read myself.
I'd love to know your thoughts on the cover and the blurb. Specifically the following:
- Thoughts on the cover - Does it catch your eye?
- Thoughts on the blurb - Does it make you want to read the whole story?
You can find the book in both paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon. You can also find it on Goodreads if you need more information.
