Last week, young adult author Maureen Johnson posted a challenge on Twitter: take a book and redesign the cover by switching the gender of the author. For example, what would the cover of Trackers look like if it were written by one “Patricia Carman” rather than Patrick Carman? Or how might the cover of The Scorpions of Zahir change if Christopher – not Christine – Brodien-Jones were the author?

You know that annoying feeling you get when you finish a really good book? You're driven crazy because you WANT TO KNOW! What happens next?! Is that all?! It's going to be such a long time before you get the next one! Argh! After I finished Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, I found myself in the grips of the biggest and baddest case of TEABS.

By Robin Bridges.
In St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1888, royal debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark secret--that she has the ability to raise the dead--but when she uses her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial Family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue.
