Cover of the Week (32)

Taking a month long break from blogging and stalking Goodreads makes coming back a bit overwhelming... AND exciting. There are so many new covers to look at... for example, this one:

THE GIRLS OF NO RETURN by Erin Saldin

Arthur A. Levine Books/2.28.2012

CUT meets HATCHET in this lacerating debut about girls, knives, and redemption.

The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area stretches across two million acres in northern Idaho. In its heart sits the Alice Marshall School, where fifty teenage girls come to escape their histories and themselves.

Lida Wallace has tried to negate herself in every way possible. At Alice Marshall, she meets Elsa Boone, a fierce native Idahoan; Jules, who seems too healthy to belong at the school; and Gia Longchamps, whose glamour entrances the entire camp. As the girls prepare for a wilderness trek, Lida is both thrilled and terrified to be chosen as Gia's friend. But everyone has their secrets--their "Things" they try to protect; and when those come out, the knives do as well.

THE GIRLS OF NO RETURN is a bold and powerful debut.

"CUT meets HATCHET." That's a lot to live up to... it gives me goosebumps.

I love the color scheme of this cover. I like the girly font of "THE GIRLS" and the stark font of "OF NO RETURN." The slash marks through the title are the finishing touch... genius.
