Covering Covers

   Ever heard the phrase "judging a book by it's cover"? Of course you have, everyone has. Well I do it. A lot. I know I shouldn't, but I go to the library, I look through the shelves in the teen books, and two things make me want to pick up a book. An awesome cover, and an awesome name. I saw this book:


I saw it online, and it was like a double threat. Triple! Amazing cover, Great title. AND THE SUMMARY SOUNDED AWESOME TOO!!! I wish my library didn't suck. I want this book. Maybe I should buy it...haha. Ya. Right. With what money? That's what my new job is for!!!! My whole paycheck is going to go to buying books if I'm not careful...
   But ya, I LOVE (note the underlining, caps, *and boldness) this cover. The girl on it is so pretty, and with the camera up it just makes her seem so cool. And then you add the awesome title and it makes me wish I had some moolah. I should get some moolah just for this book.

Here's what it's about:
What happens when a city girl is transplanted onto a ramshackle organic farm in the middle of nowhere? Everything.
Sixteen-year-old Roar has been yanked from her city life and suddenly she’s a farm girl, albeit a reluctant one, selling figs at the farmers' market and developing her photographs in a rickety shed. And then she witnesses a crime that will throw the whole community into an uproar. Caught among the lure of a troublemaking friend, her love for a brooding boy, and her complicated feelings about her father’s human rights crusade, Roar is going to have to tackle it all. And with a camera around her neck, she’s capturing it all, too.
Yvonne Prinz and her novel The Vinyl Princess have ignited the teen blogosphere and entertainment media. Once again, she’s taken the pulse of culture and emerged with a book that is timely, quirky, and unforgettable.

   And the lead character's name is Roar. How cool is that?
