Hi, YABC!
Today we’re super excited to celebrate the cover reveal for FUTURE SHOCK by Elizabeth Briggs, releasing April 1, 2016 from Albert Whitman & Company: AW Teen. Before we get to the cover, here’s a note from Elizabeth:
Hi YABC! I’m Elizabeth Briggs and I’m so excited to share the FUTURE SHOCK cover with you!
When my editor at Albert Whitman sent me this cover, I was completely blown away. I was thrilled to discover they’d hired a photographer and a Latina model to make sure that Elena Martinez, my Mexican-American heroine, was represented properly on the cover. Plus, she’ll be on the cover of the sequel too!
The attention to detail on the cover is truly stunning, and I’m so impressed by what they came up with. Elena looks fierce and determined, and her tattoos are exactly as they’re described in the book, from the flowers on her inner arm to the birds flying across her back. Behind her, you can see the rainy, futuristic Los Angeles she time travels to (in fact, the office building I used to work in is on the right!).
When I wrote FUTURE SHOCK, I was heavily inspired by the sci-fi noir feel of the movie Blade Runner, and I think this cover perfectly captures that! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Ready to see?
Scroll, YABCers! Scroll!

The cover and plot is brilliant!!!
This sounds really exciting! The girl’s bird tattoos remind me a bit of Tris from Divergent.
Looks and sounds great! Can’t wait! 🙂
The cover is to die for! Would love to look like that!
Love the cover. Looks like a real interesting read.
I really like the cover. I think the coppery background really helps to offset the blue in the model’s tattoo.
The synopsis sounds like something right up my alley. I can’t wait to read this!
The cover is fabulous! Elena looks determined, and the description caught my interest. I’m interested to see how Elena’s eidetic memory figures into the story!
Thank you!! I really like the cover and her tattoos.

Nice cover! Love the futuristic look, and Elena looks fierce.
The cover is beautiful ♡ and Future Shock sounds great. Thank you
The cover is beautiful! I love the tattoos on her body and how in the background it shows the futuristic look of Los Angeles. The synopsis was my favorite type; I like the sci-fi types of books the most out of all the fiction that I read. I literally walk into the library and head over to the sci-fi fiction! It’s great and I can’t wait to read this book.

The Cover looks amazing!!!! It reminds me a lot of those kick ass strong and powerful girl protagonists. I think it will be an amazing book…hopefully much better written version than other time travel books…but it seems to be super promising!!! Can’t wait to read it!!!
it looks good 🙂
I love her other series and I am super excited to read this. Love the cover and the blurb.
The cover and synopsis makes me want to read the book right away. The cover is very intriguing along with the synopsis. The tattoos are very interesting.
This cover is spectacular!
There are several things I like about the cover. 1. The contrast of the bright goldish color in the background looks amazing with the MC in the center frame all dressed in dark. 2. Because of said contrast, the background isn’t drowned out but instead catches the eye and seeing what the setting is just made me even more interested. 3. Those gorgeous tattoos!!
The synopsis sounds exciting, mysterious and unique. It also messages you think (what would I do? Would I look at my future if I could?) and I love a story that makes you think/question yourself.
The cover looks cool-the colors are gorgeous! The synopsis sounds quite interesting.
The synopsis had me at the mere mention of time travel. The cover is cool, but at first I thought it was that girl from Divergent cause of her tattoo.
it looks and sounds cool
Interesting and Interesting = Very Interesting
The cover is eye-catching and would amke me pick this off the shelf. The synopsis is detailed enough for me to know that I would love the time-travel aspect of this story. Can’t wait to read how the author made this world.
There are not even enough words to describe what I think….. so to describe what I think in one word it would be………………….Badass!
It looks intriguing and the cover is gorgeous!
I love the tattoos on the cover and I love the synopsis it sounds really original and interesting.
Interesting premise!
