There are plenty of cover elements that have become common. Socks. Staring into the distance. Faces. But girls holding geese? That’s rare. You tend to remember that. Such is the case in today’s cover curiosity. Let’s take a look at the first cover:
Alchemy and Meggy Swann by Karen Cushman.
And it’s twin…
Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge.
Side by side:
The calligraphy-esque font, the earth tones, the clothing, the, you know, geese – there’s a similarity here, right?
you may be onto something here. though i haven’t read the first book (Cushman’s)–yet, but when i saw the cover and you mention geese, i thought of ‘Fly By Night’ immediately–and then i scrolled down and saw it of course. and if i were to read based on similarity, i would have to immediately pick up Cushman’s novel because Hardinge’s was FANTASTIC.
