Welcome to the second cover reveal of the week, YABCers!

Today we’re celebrating the cover for IN A HANDFUL OF DUST by Mindy McGinnis releasing September 23, 2014 from Katherine Tegen/HarperCollins. Before we get to the cover, here’s a message from Mindy:

 

Hello YABC readers! Welcome to the official cover reveal for IN A HANDFUL OF DUST, which is a companion novel to my debut NOT A DROP TO DRINK. The amazingly talented Erin Fitzsimmons at HarperCollins was once again my cover artist, and she came up with something that I think illustrates this book’s relationship to DRINK very well. You’ll notice that it coordinates nicely, but the colors at work here are wildly different. I think that’s a great approach for a book that serves as a companion novel rather than a sequel. Hats off to Erin and all of her talent!

About the Book

The only thing bigger than the world is fear.
 
Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach.
 
When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epic journey west to face new dangers: hunger, mountains, deserts, betrayal, and the perils of a world so vast that Lucy fears she could be lost forever, only to disappear in a handful of dust.
 
In this companion to Not a Drop to Drink, Mindy McGinnis thrillingly combines the heart-swelling hope of a journey, the challenges of establishing your own place in the world, and the gripping physical danger of nature in a futuristic frontier.

    I love the cover and the way it definitely goes with Not a Drop to Drink without being too matchy. The synopsis is definitely not what I was expecting for this book, but I think it sounds amazing!

  3. Jojo says:

    I think the cover gives readers a connection, idea, image of what the story’s background, setting is. Sets a kind of tone and when reading the synopsis sounds like an adventurous dystopia world reminds of the popular Hunger Games type setting and yet with a fresh take. I want to see what happens and the different type of creativity that can come from a popularly used “world”.

    I love the colors and setting chosen for this cover because it’s clear that it’ll pop on my classroom library’s shelf and students will immediately pick it up and crack it open. It’s also great that it’s a companion novel, so while some students are reading DRINK others can read this, and they can swap & discuss. This cover is so gorgeous I wouldn’t mind a poster for my classroom, either! 🙂
