Awesome Cover Art in MG literature: The Kneebone Boy-Can You Say "Delicious"?

I ran across this cover months ago, in the Fall. It immediately captivated me. Who are these children? What is their story? And that cat! That sassy look on his face, his toes--he has eight of them. And, if you look closely enough, he has an extra leg...ugh! Let's not forget, there's someone sitting above in the tree. What's going on with that? I've heard, that the blond boy is based on a real guy that the author had a crush on in high school...ooh...

The cover is dark, Gothic and beautiful. I want to know about the artist as much as the story itself. The artist has signed the cover, but it's so faint, I can't read it. I had to get this book. And I did--or the ARC that is. And believe me, the story is just as awesome. The Kneebone Boy releases in mid September. I'll be reviewing it and possibly doing a giveaway. Stay tuned...

Toodles!

They Came in the Mail! What I'm reading, what I'm going to read and some of what I'll be giving away *smile*

There are so many great books coming down the pike, honestly, I wish I had a job in which I got paid to do nothing, but read books--then write about them! I've received some really great novels over the last few weeks.

With the exception of MINDER, which I'm in the midst of reading and is available now, the other books you see here will be releasing in August, September and October. I'll be posting reviews on all, and giveaways of some of the books.

I'm enjoying MINDER so far and I couldn't resist starting HALO. Oh my goodness, can you say awesome?! This teen author is going places! Anyway, I've got tons of books to read and review as well as continuing to revise my own novel and do some more traveling, whew! It's a busy summer. Hope you all are enjoying yours.

Toodles!
