A Kid's Perspective #9: Judging a book by it's cover

A Kid's Perspective: Judging a Book By Its Cover is a feature hosted by Sara @ Forever 17 Books where Sara gets her six year old son Shawn's perspective on a few Young Adult covers.

Hi everyone, my sister is finally back with another interpretation of a book cover for you. With being off from school for the holidays, my sister had planned to share a few posts with you, but she's either been spending her time reading or listening to books by Jacqueline Wilson (we've enjoyed making numerous trips to the library and bookstore!) or watching Once Upon a Time. I'm so behind right now on this show, so my sister loves threatening to tell me what's been going on! But she finally had the time to pick out this cover to share with you! 

I think this book was about a guy and he's a player. He dates this girl on the cover, everyone likes him, and she falls for him, but then she finds out that he was dating a different girl (one of the populars), the girl is then heartbroken. But then the guy comes to her house and apologises and makes all this stuff up and the girl forgives him. And that's how he Fools Me (her) Twice!

I do like the interpretation that my sister has gone for, I think her perspective is a lot more heartbreaking than the fun cover which is depicted because of all the US shows that she's been watching recently! But I do love the detail that she's added to the cover. So what do you guys think?

Hello everyone, my sister is finally back with another interpretation of a YA book cover. I'm sorry she wasn't able to share a post with you sooner, but my sister was far too occupied with her Beatles project for school, we've been listening to Beatles songs for the last month or so (not that I'm complaining), but now that she has handed it in, she says that she will have a lot more posts to share with you! So without further ado, the book my sister picked out was...

I think that Shadow & Bone is about a place which is forbidden. Nobody goes there and if they do they don't return.

I can totally understand my sister's perspective with this book. the cover does give an eerie sort of vibe and of a place of no return. And isn't this what people assume when they go to Little Palace? That they won't return? I so need to do a re-read of this book! Also this is one of the first covers that my sister went all out on, she was there all day Sunday with her charcoals smudging away to get the right finish!

Hello everyone, my sister is finally back with another interpretation of a YA book cover. So without further ado, the book my sister picked out was...

I think Twinmaker is about a man who makes a machine to go back in time, but it ends up making twins instead. The twin that comes out of the machine is different, they're evil and improved. They also try to get rid of the original human. As you can see in the picture the new and improved twin is smiling because it is evil. 

My sister had quite a few different interpretations of Twinmaker, but this is the final one that she stuck with. I actually quite what she's come up with. I started Twinmaker the other day and it's not really the read that I was hoping it would be so far. But my sister's interpretation also slightly reminds me of All Our Yesterdays.

Hello everyone, my sister is finally back with another interpretation of a YA book cover. My sister hadn't done one of these posts since September, (this was largely due to the Disney channel), but according to my sister because nothing caught her eye on my shelf. But I've been on a bit of a book splurge as of late, so hopefully my sister will have more frequent posts for you guys. So without further ado, the book my sister picked out was...

I think The Madman's Daughter is about a mad scientist, who has a daughter. His daughter is normal until one day she realises that she has these strange habits. It's from here that she realises she's mad like her father. But she's only half mad and half normal. Her strange habits is to do with hearts and in the story she's always trying to control her madness.

I actually started this book the other day and really like the interpretation my sister has come up with. Her obsession with hearts I think does a great job of getting the sinister vibe that the book is trying to convey.

Hello everyone, my sister is back with another interpretation of a YA book cover, this time she has decided to go for a book that I've never read before. So without further ado! 

I think this book is about a girl who has a long distance relationship with her boyfriend and the way they show their love for each other is through postcards. 

After my sister wrote her perspective, I went to check what this book was actually about, and it does actually involve the MC sending a postcard to her sort of boyfriend. I actually think that I would probably would end up reading this book with my sister's perspective, I hardly see anyone send postcards anymore, so it would be interesting to see if their relationship would work out seeing how they live so far apart!

Hello everyone, my sister is back with another perspective and interpretation of a YA book for you guys. This week my sister chose:

I think the book The Off Season is about a girl whose house caught on fire and the only thing she has left is the boots on the cover.

Well this interpretation was definitely not what I was expecting. My sister actually had two interpretations of this book at first, her other one was that this girl gets sent back to her old country and they wear weird things such as cow wellington boots! I don't think I could choose between these interpretations, which do you think fits the cover more?

Hello everyone, today my sister is back with her perspective and interpretation of another YA book. My sister is a really fussy person, hence the lack of A kids Perspective posts! Despite having so many books on my bookshelf and everywhere around my room, my sister was adamant on only doing this post when she saw a cover which grabbed her eye. So without further ado my sister's choice for this week is:

I think Lucid is about a girl. Her parents have passed away and her friends have betrayed her. Suddenly her whole life is turning upside down.

I really like my sister's take on Lucid, she took the whole sleeping upside down thing to another level!

It's been a while since I last did this post, my sister has been super busy, but did find some time in her busy schedule, to give me her intepretation and perspective of another brilliant Young Adult cover.
This time my sister chose Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi.

I think Unravel Me is about a girl and she's with her boyfriend, but what happens is that there's a big blizzard. And she loses him and she goes to look for him in the cold, snowy weather and when she finds him, he's with another girl and she gets heart broken and starts to cry.

I totally overlooked the crying like tears coming from the eye, until my sister gave me her totally reasonable explanation behind it all. My sister also seems to be gravitating towards a lot of relationship issues in her explanations, I can't wait to see which cover she decides to go for next!

where Sara gets her six year old son Shawn's perspective on a few Young Adult covers. I've adored this feature since forever, Shawn's interpretations of some of the Young Adult covers are amazing and his cover art is absolutely adorable. So I decided this would be a fun feature that I would like to be part of too. 

So without further ado, here's my sister's perspective and cover art for Things I Can't Forget by Miranda Kenneally. 

I think this book is about a girl who has these really good memories about her and her boyfriend. But then she breaks up with him and she tries to forget all of the memories and all about him. But she's been with him for so long that she can't forget it.

So what do you guys think? I'm hoping to make A Kid's Perspective a regular feature here at The Readers Den, that's as long as I can move my sister away from the Disney channel.
