It's live!! Cover Reveal: Nooks & Crannies by Jessica Lawson + Giveaway (International)

 

Ready for another cover reveal, YABCers?

Today we're super excited to celebrate the cover reveal for NOOKS & CRANNIES by Jessica Lawson, releasing June 7, 2015 from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. Before we get to the cover, here's a note from Jessica:

 

Hello all YA(and Kids!)BC readers! Welcome to the exclusive cover reveal of NOOKS & CRANNIES!
 
I'm over the moon to be sharing the wonderful work of artist/illustrator Natalie Andrewson (http://natalie-andrewson.com/) and Simon & Schuster book designer Lucy Ruth Cummins.
 
This mystery-in-a-manor-house novel was pitched as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets Clue, and I think Natalie's artwork perfectly captures the spirit and tone of my story. Her depiction of the novel's characters, particularly protagonist Tabitha Crum (whose personality has shades of Roald Dahl's Matilda), is spot-on. I was extra thrilled to learn that Natalie will be providing interior illustrations for the book, so readers can look forward to finding those gems among the pages!
 
Full of little details from the novel, this cover is so very special to me and I hope you love it as much as I do.
 
Happy viewing!
 
~ Jessica Lawson (NOOKS & CRANNIES, Simon & Schuster)

NOOKS & CRANNIES

by Jessica Lawson
Release date: June 7, 2015
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
ISBN-13: 978-1-4814-1922-2
 
 
About the Book

Tabitha Crum is a girl with a big imagination and a love for mystery novels, though her parents think her only talent is being a nuisance. She doesn't have a friend in the world, except her pet mouse, Pemberley, with whom she shares her dingy attic bedroom.

Then, on the heels of a rather devastating announcement made by her mother and father, Tabitha receives a mysterious invitation to the country estate of the wealthy but reclusive Countess of Windermere, whose mansion is rumored to be haunted. There, she finds herself among five other children, none of them sure why they've been summoned. But soon, a very big secret will be revealed— a secret that will change their lives forever and put Tabitha’s investigative skills to the test.
 
 

b2ap3_thumbnail_Jessica-Lawson--Author-Photo--Black-and-White-web.jpgAbout the Author

Jessica Lawson does not live in a fancy manor house, but she does deal with mysteries on a daily basis. Most of those mysteries involve missing socks and shadowy dessert disappearances. She lives in Colorado with her husband and children. Her first novel,The Actual & Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher, is part retelling, part origin story of Mark Twain's classic The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

I love the cover! It reminds me of all the books my dad used to read to me when I was a kid. The synopsis sounds a little like the...I think they were called Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books or something haha
