We'll find out about so many other books that have been out there for awhile. I agree with you and like the cover on the left the best. This is the one that I read and I find that it fits the book so much better.<br /><br />Molly-Looking forward to when you can participate in this meme. I was surprised to see that they changed the cover of this book which each edition.<br /><br />Sandra-I think that this is closer to adult fiction but can fit in YA for older, high school ages IMO. I didn't realize that the author has written two other books and would like to read them.<br /><br />Nicole-I find books related to race, class and identity very enthralling and challenging. They are the kind of books that make you think and I like that! Thanks for telling me about The Turnaround, I'll have to look at that one.<br /><br />rhapsody-I wondered about the book covers myself. I wonder if they are trying to draw more of a younger audience with the covers or make it look like 3 different books.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838832109510581167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475017404220201735.post-60033555220605960202009-06-04T18:53:12.398-04:002009-06-04T18:53:12.398-04:00Sounds like a really good book.

I am reading The Turnaround now by George Pelecanos and its an interesting exploration of race and to some extent class as well.Nicole (Linus's Blanket)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12473607646939202824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475017404220201735.post-8808158104444855832009-06-04T17:26:47.552-04:002009-06-04T17:26:47.552-04:00This sounds very good.

I don't read YA books but I may make an exception here. I prefer the first cover too.

I like the cover on the left the best. <br /><br />I like the idea of reading from the three different perspectives too, especially since people have such different perspectives on race issues.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.com
