The Book Case

Yesterday some BookPage staffers were reviewing summer middle grade novels, and I couldn’t help but pause at the cover of Kathi Appelt’s Keeper—and think of Katherine’s cover déjà vu series over at A Girl Walks Into a Bookstore.

Compare:

A person and an animal on a boat? Sea life lurking below the water’s surface? For the record, I think Keeper is a lovely cover, and it looks even better in person (it’s one of those thick squarish books that are so pleasing to hold).

Keeper will be out May 18 from Simon & Schuster. In the meantime, read about Appelt’s Newbery Honor Book The Underneath.

Have you seen any book jackets lately that give you a weird sense of. . . déjà vu?
