If you missed it a few weeks ago, here's the back cover summary:
Eleven-year-old Kelly “Birdie” Knotts has the perfect summer vacation planned: she’s finally going to visit her dad, Arthur. Birdie hardly knows him, but she has high hopes that he’ll be the one family member who understands her.
Too bad her vacation is nothing like she imagined it would be.
Arthur’s plans for their father-daughter visit revolve around a video game convention, where he dresses head-to-toe in costume and makes a boisterous scene every chance he gets. When he isn’t shouting gleefully in the hallways, he’s belting out off-pitch tunes in the karaoke room. Birdie’s new plan? Hide under a rock for life.
It’s impossible for Birdie to get to know Arthur when he insists that he’s a video game character. And if he doesn’t step up and start acting like a dad, it might be game over.
And here's the cover, with a special shout out to Steven Novak of Novak Illustration! I highly recommend him -- just look how great his work is:
What do you guys think? (You can click on the cover for a larger image.)
There's a star-gazing scene in the book that this cover represents, plus plenty of references to stars in video games.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm so thrilled to share this cover with you guys!

That's a gorgeous cover and perfect for your book!
Great cover! Congrats! By the way, my cousin's name is Steven Novak. How funny is that?
Very nice cover, Shelley. I like the different shades of blue for the title and the cover. The cover looks ideal for students and even the pair glasses she wears gives her that scholarly look.
That is a terrific cover. Congrats.
Congratulations Shelley! Awesome cover!

Great cover! Love the saturation of the deep blue. Congratulations! :)
I can't wait to read it...and I have to say, I LOVE her eyeglasses. I have a bit of an eyeglass thing going on now that I've discovered I can no longer see as well out of contacts. Zenni Optical--and I may have to buy some blue glasses now that I've seen these!
Christine - Thank you! I love her glasses.
Karen - Thanks! Yes, I'm a fan of the colors in this one.
