Look, I don’t discriminate on my Cover Curiosities – picture book, middle grade, YA – when two books happen to resemble each other, I will be there. Today we foray into the YA world with two new books that share a bold bar/grid motif.
Juvie by Steve Watkins
More Than This by Patrick Ness
Side by side:
The grays, the grids, the doors – definite resemblance.
Any other cover that could be added to this group?
*Update* In the comments, Brenda (of proseandkahn) mentioned that Zebra Forest could also be a member of this group. I concur:
About Travis Jonker
Zebra Forest by Adina Rishe Gerwitz has the same vertical black, white and gray going on but with birch trees as the “bars.”

Charm and Strange has some similarities, especially to Zebra Forest. If you’ll accept blue.
