I see this ...Congratulations on the new book Lisa! <br />I see this problem about assumptions based on covers all the time in the bookstore. Lots of times I have a book I know a young patron will like but they take one look at the cover and walk away. Sometimes the cover looks to young to them, or too scary, or not exciting enough. It's tricky to get the title and cover just right. I get particularly frustrated with highly gendered covers. Why put off half your market with a gender specific cover when kids don't actually care whether the character is a boy or a girl so long as the story is engaging.
