This cover is EVERYTHING! Love, love, love. When I saw the blurb for this one, and that it was for fans of Karen McManus, I KNEW this one would quickly be added to my TBR list. My students and I have been loving McManus for a while now, so I can't wait to add this one to our favorites as well. I have a love for all bayou settings, for whatever weird reason, so this one really piques my interest. The first look is amazing, as I knew it would be, and the artwork throughout is just the icing on the cake. A really great job by this author!
