this illustration is bad enough, but that cover makes it look like the poor kid is being brained with the newbery honor medal. either that, or that’s kid zeus giving birth to the newbery medal fully formed from his cranium.

Have you ever featured the unfortunate cover of The Cay by Theodore Taylor? You know, the one with the Phillip and Timothy in a rather intimate embrace with a palm tree? It would be the winner in any contest. I hope you have a Cover Week again. Such fun!

I think I know the cover you speak of. It certainly fits all the criteria! Thanks for the tip – that one may show up here in the future
