DREAM BOY By Mary Crockett & Madelyn Rosenberg, Cover Reveal

Happy Sunday! I'm so thrilled to be teaming up with Source Book to help reveal a beautiful for one of their upcoming Summer releases, DREAM BOY by Mary Crockett & Madelyn Rosenberg. 

Check out this cover!


Isn't this cover stunning? I love it. I would totally pick up this book to find out what the story is about. Speaking of the story, here's a little about the book:

About DREAM BOY

 In this romantic contemporary fantasy, American teen-hood meets mystic folklore.

Like the small southern town where it's set, Dream Boy is edged by wilderness, mysticism and mystery. The bottle tree on the cover perfectly captures the novel's mix of dream and nightmare.

So what is a bottle tree?

Simply put, it's an ancient folk-magic practice intended to capture evil spirits. Southerners adapted the tradition—outfitting tree limbs with colored bottles.

In Dream Boy, the bottle tree creates a connection point between the real world and what lies beyond.

**********

“We were beyond excited with how the cover turned out,” says Mary Crockett. “It was a serious thrill to see something from our imaginations become real. And not only real, but gorgeous.”

Madelyn Rosenberg agrees, “We're lucky we had such excellent people working on it—with designer Eileen Carey and Sourcebooks creative services manager Adrienne Krogh at the top of the list.”
