There is a saying never judge a book by its cover. Do you think this is true?

The sleeve or jacket of a book plays a large part in persuading people to buy it. With this in mind, you need to carefully consider you book’s cover. Book jacket/sleeve contains: • title • author • Illustrator • an enticing cover • the blurb on the back to hook the reader in

What is a blurb?

In simple terms, a blurb is the short yet descriptive account of the book that goes on the back cover. The blurb should include any information that represents the

book best and intrigues the readers.

Sigurd the Viking is back, and causing chaos wherever he goes. Even his new wife, Mrs. Tibblethwaite, can’t keep him out of trouble. But then, how would you react if you were a tenth century Viking stuck in the twenty first century?

"There's a new master criminal on the scene, 12-year-old Artemis Fowl. Kidnapping a fairy starts out easy for Artemis, but he soon discovers he's taken captive Captain Holly Short. She's part of an armed and extremely dangerous LEPrecon Unit. Artemis should be able to handle things as long as they play by the rules..."

The hedgehog family of number 5A are a happy bunch but they dream of reaching the Park. Unfortunately, a very busy road lies between them and their goal and no-one has found a way to cross it safely. No-one, that is, until the determined young Max decides to solve the problem once and for all...

A brain-tickingly brilliant seriously story.

Hamstring Town is a fun free zone – there are no sweets, no treats and fried food is banned. Until the Fried Piper comes along.

Now it’s time to design yours. You may use the computer to design and present your work or you may draw your design and write the blurb on paper. If you do draw your design, take care to think about your lettering being even and well-spaced.
