Help us pick the new Stupid Fast Cover!!!

[Teen Fire]

To Whom It May Concern:

 

I, Felton Reinstein, am Stupid Fast. Seriously. The upper classmen used to call me Squirrel Nut, because I was little and jumpy. Then, during sophomore year, I got tall and huge and so fast the gym teachers in their tight shorts fell all over themselves. During summer, three things happened all at once. First, the pee-smelling jocks in my grade got me to work out for football, even though I had no intention of playing. Second, on my paper route the most beautiful girl I have ever seen moved in and played piano at 6 a.m. Third, my mom, who never drinks, had some wine, slept in her car, stopped weeding the garden, then took my TV and put it in her room and decided she wouldn’t get out of bed.

 

Listen, I have not had much success in my life. But suddenly I’m riding around in a jock’s pick-up truck? Suddenly I’m invited to go on walks with beautiful girls? So, it’s understandable that when my little brother stopped playing piano and began to dress like a pirate I didn’t pay much attention. That I didn’t want to deal with my mom coming apart.

 

I guess it’s my fault!

 

Which cover goes with my story?

 

[Crissy Claiborne]

I really like cover #3. The different pictures present a nice clue as to what the story is about. It's more than running, football and falling in love - it's all three - and will appeal to boys and girls for that reason.

[Meghan]

I don't really like any of them, to be honest. None of them would catch my attention. If I had to pick I'd say #3.

[Ericka Brunson]

Both my boyfriend and I liked #2 best!

[Karenof4]

I asked my kids for their opinions as well. As for my son (11) and I, none of the covers grabbed us, but of the 3, #1 seems more fitting. My daughter (8) liked #1.

cover #3

Cover #2 caught my eye

[Shannon]

The design of the middle one is clean and clever. Love the title on the jersey.

[Jenna]

#2 definitely

[Amy Murphy]

I vote #3.
1 looks like the cover of 50 other books I've seen. It's too generic.
2 looks too masculine. It's probably not something I, as a female reader, would just pick off the shelf after noticing the cover.

[Jason K.]

I like #2

Cover 3

[Brenna]

I think that #3 appeals to me most, though I also like the design of #2. Cover #1 reminds me of the covers of youth fiction from the late 80s, like "Maniac McGee." Not bad, but makes me think that it's for younger readers than young adult.
