Betsy Wickwire’s Christmas Present

BEFORE: The old cover. Stay tuned for the AFTER shot.

It might not seem like much to you but Betsy Wickwire’s getting something wonderful for Christmas: suds.

One of the things that’s always bugged me – a bit – is that the sponge on the cover looks like a big candy heart. (Don’t you think?)

Not that there’s anything the matter with candy. And I guess you could argue that a teenager might be more likely to pick up a book that seems to be about food rather than cleaning up after it.

It’s just that that’s not what this particular young adult novel is about. It’s kind of about cleaning up your life, I guess. The new edition will feature “enhanced bubbles”. (And doesn’t everybody need enhanced bubbles in their life, now and again?)

I’ll post the new cover here as soon as I get it.
