THE SCOURGE new Cover Reveal (paperback)!

Today’s wonderfulness is so exciting to me, a cover reveal for THE SCOURGE!

But wait, you ask…hasn’t that book been out for a while?

Yes, but Scholastic is finally putting it into paperback and they have given it a fresh new cover, one which I love.

And it’s oddly well-timed, since we’re sort of in the middle of our own scourge. The paperback won’t be released until spring 2021, but you get to be the first to see the cover here, and that is simply wonderful!

If you don’t know this book, a summary is below.

As a lethal plague sweeps through the land, Ani Mells is shocked when she is unexpectedly captured by the governor’s wardens and forced to submit to a test for the deadly Scourge. She is even more surprised when the test results come back positive, and she is sent to Attic Island, a former prison turned refuge—and quarantine colony—for the ill. The Scourge’s victims, Ani now among them, can only expect to live out short, painful lives there.

However, Ani quickly discovers that she doesn’t know the whole truth about the Scourge or the Colony. She’s been caught in a devious plot, and, with the help of her best friend, Weevil, Ani means to uncover just what is actually going on. But will she and Weevil survive the Scourge—and the gorvernor’s wardens—long enough to make their escape and expose the cruel plan?
