Cover Curiosity: Kids in Trees
Usually for Cover Curiosities, I highlight a straight-up “this cover looks kinda like that cover” situation. Today we have more of a trend. But it isn’t gothic gates, holding stuff, or socks. No, today’s middle grade/YA trend is about kids hanging out in trees. Here are three examples – got any more to add?

Right you are!
So true! How about Emma-Jean Lazurus Fell out of a Tree by Lauren Tarshis (even has child in tree in the title!)
Just read Love Aubrey, BTW and loved it!
True! When I got to #3, I got that “haven’t I seen you recently feeling and looked down at my left hand where Kepler’s Dream by Juliet Bell sat. You can check out the image at my blog b/c it was In My Mailbox this week: http://proseandkahn.livejournal.com/321116.html or check it out at BN online: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/keplers-dream-juliet-bell/1106756268?ean=9781101572078&itm=1&usri=keplers+dream
Love, Aubrey and Girl Meets Boy seem a bit closer b/c they’re photographs. Touching Stars and Kepler’s Dream have the same color scheme going on and, interestingly a star gazing character.

Good eye, Brenda! This is one to keep tabs on…
Breathing by Cheryl Renee Herbsman resembles these ones. http://www.amazon.com/Breathing-Cheryl-Renee-Herbsman/dp/0670011231/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339458237&sr=8-1&keywords=breath+cheryl+renee
