Jaouad’s Art Direction: This book is so awesome, there’s only one way to sell it: give it an awesome glittering metallic dustjacket, so everyone is blinded by its awesomeness. Also, make sure no one can read the author’s name.

Alessandra Comments: Not, despite all appearances, a parody. It’s a young adult story with paranoid overtones, but as far as Puffin is concerned it’s the Attack of the Stuffed Olive Aliens.

Tam W’s Art Direction: This is a great work of fantasy, so naturally we want it to look as retro, cliched and formulaic as possible. I’m talking men in tights! If you do decide to depict a wizard turning into a bird, don’t forget to catch him in the act. And make it man-sized, never mind what the novel says!
