Since it is a novel set in the modern day, I think it worked pretty well-- Kay's a teenager and it's something a teenager would wear (heck, I dressed in tank tops all the time in high school; I still do).<br /><br />I think the clothes fit who she is in the book-- she's an adventurous girl who enjoys to climb and such, so they put her in something vaguely athletic, like a tank top. The model for the cover pretty much matches the description of Kay in the book, which is usually more than an author can ask for. What it all boils down to is that even if Kay is having all these adventures, she's still just a teenager living in today's world, which is why I think the cover was drawn the way it is. It's also pretty distinctive from the normal teen novel covers out there. Nowadays, they're usually just random images (see the Twilight covers; a whole bunch of books are being reprinted and modeled on those, unfortunately) or headless/limbless people (see the Sarah Dessen books; I love her books, but her covers usually fall into the Faceless realm).Traihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187991154030955086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743990926051606121.post-73138488865517182152010-03-26T18:14:48.171-04:002010-03-26T18:14:48.171-04:00So what do you think of the cover?

It looks far too pretty/neat/mainstream/glamorous to fit with your description of the heroine and her adventures.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069822009799120415noreply@blogger.com
