Guys!! I can finally share the cover of my new MG (out next spring)!! I am so so so excited about this!!! I love it so much! I think it's unique and whimsical, really speaks to the energy and adventure in the book. And is just so colourful and awesome. I'm so so lucky to have Matt Rockefeller as my illustrator!

Check it out! (unfortunately photobucket is totally misbehaving today so I can't seem to paste the image into this post [you can see it smaller as my avatar though!]. I am afraid I have to send you to this link to see it . .. makes it all the more suspenseful I suppose ;) : http://adriennekress.tumblr.com/image/148794090868 )

This is GORGEOUS!

It's just everything! I'm the pickiest person in the world about MG covers, but this is fantastic. Whimsical without looking juvenile, great character expressions, great overall layout, great title fonts. You should be over the moon! I sure would be!

Can't wait to see it in stores!

Wow, thanks! That was just me gushing! Glad it gave ya the feels!

But seriously, I've had nightmares of one day being saddled with a gawdawful cover that I couldn't do anything about. It's comforting to know that great designs actually do still exist!
