My vote goes to TERMINAL.
Do you know it is the final instalment in the amazing TUNNELS series?

Timesmith for me! I love the panorama of future/past London in the top of the cover. Good follow on from Sorrowline too.

I would love TERMINAL to win. The series has some stunning cover designs by David Wyatt and it's a pretty good read too! Terminal is the finale in this superb series.

Dan and the Caverns of Bone is fun, colourful and has just the right amount of story detail to catch a Young Reader's eye, which is what book covers are all about, I think.

I'm going for Dan & the cavern of Bone because 1. I like the look of it & 2 I am impressed by writer/illustrators who are any good.

I loved them all - but most I love Dan and the Caverns of Bone for the slightly Scooby-Doo vibe...

The Fury is the most terrifyingly beautiful cover I've seen in a long time, how can everyone not be voting for it!
Aimée McKenzie said…
Good luck Gordon! <3
J Ling said…
The cover for The Fury is moving, chilling and disturbing: everything a horror cover should be. I bet the content is every bit as captivating. well done to that illustrator/designer!!
Lisa said…
