What a fantastic cover! It’s so different than everything else out there. I love it!
Wonderful adorable cover! Love & Want!
Love, love, love this cover! The images perfectly reflect the humor of the book. The burning question from the young reader in my house is, “Who belongs in that ginormous green swimsuit?”!
Oh my goodness Beth! I LOVE it!! It looks so amazing! Congrats!
Fabulous cover! Captures a playful, quirky tone. Makes me yearn for summer!!!
If you like the funtastic swimsuits, wait until you meet their owners! :p The characters in this book are so authentic, loveable, hate-able, and witty (and also irreverent at times) you’re going to want them all for your besties. 😀 LOVE this book and adore this cover!!!
SQUEEE!!!! I love it! I cannot wait to have a copy on my nightstand! So proud of you!!! ;););););););)
I can’t wait until this comes out!!!
Awesome cover!! I’m so excited for this to release. I think I’ve been very patient considering how much I want to read it.
I can’t imagine a more perfect cover for this fun book! It’s eye-catching, and absolutely stunning, plus the novel is SUCH a good read!!! AHHH, I AM SWOONING OVER HERE!
I think it’s a fabulously fun cover for this book. Well done!
It is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I want to buy a boatload of Bethany’s book and surround myself with the pretties. Heh!
Love the cover! Makes me want to read the book. Congrats Bethany!
Very Great Full Site
I love all the yellow and the wheelchair next to the wide variety of swim suits.
Awesome cute!

I love the cover. It’s really cute. It’s simple and not overly extravagant. I think it’s perfect for a fun read like this book sounds. 🙂
I like the cover! It’s really different from all the other covers for YA Books I’ve seen out there and it’s also really cute!
I was hooked after reading the synopsis a little while back, and I can understand why finding/creating just the right cover would be difficult for a book that is unusual–but the designers did such a marvelous job you’d never know there’d been a struggle in the first place. It’s flirtatious and whimsical, edgy, and artsy (collage effect is a nice touch!)…and already begins to illuminate the story. Reminds me of Fangirl and Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell (whose novels are fantastic). Excited to read Summer on the Shortbus!!!
Sometimes my computer doesn’t capitalize things properly…and I don’t catch the error(s) before they get posted :/.
Summer on the Short Bus!!! Woot 😀

Summer on the Short Bus by Bethany Crandell’s cover hints at the wheelchair bound kids that will people this book along with summer activities in swimsuits and sandals.

Thanks for the chance to win!
the cover is cute, if i didn’t read what the book is about, I would think its a book for kids. like summer camp and the kids go there on a short bus.
