Do! Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature on Pop! Goes The Reader in which I pay tribute to some of the best and brightest the publishing world has to offer in the way of book cover design. This feature is inspired by Katie’s feature Cover Love on her blog One Page At A Time. The idea is being used with her gracious permission.
When I realized that I hadn’t taken the time to celebrate some of the latest covers in the middle grade market since early September, I decided it was time to take a good, long look at my life choices. I’ve let you down. Heck, I’ve let myself down. Well, no longer! Some of my favourite covers this week include Bad Magic by Pseudonymous Bosch, Pi In The Sky by Wendy Mass, The Wrong Side Of Magic by Janette Rallison, The Rise And Rise Of Tabitha Baird by Arabella Weir, The Underdogs by Sara Hammel, Pilfer Academy by Lauren Magaziner, The Remarkable Journey Of Charlie Price by Jennifer Maschari, Summer Of Lost And Found by Rebecca Behrens and Moon Bear by Gill Lewis.

The Wrong Side of Magic, Mouse Heart and Eden’s Wish have the cutest covers! I love MG covers. They’re always so colorful and fun 🙂

I think The Forget-Me-Not Summer is the best cover in my opinion but Summer of Lost and Found is a great cover too….really bright. ✨☺️
