Friday Face Off is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, and run by Lynn’s Book Blog. You can check out all my past Friday Face Offs here.
“The haft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagles own plumes.”
This weeks theme: A cover featuring feathers.
My Choice: My Side of the Mountain
I couldn’t really find a cover featuring feathers by themselves so I had to settle for a cover featuring a bird.
Covers:
Puffin 2004 | Puffin 1991 | Puffin 2001 (1)
Scholastic 1970 | Dutton 1975 | Puffin 2001 (2)
Unknown | Puffin 1970 | Epsilon 2012

Haha the two least favorites are interesting. One of them looks like a character from the Brady Bunch. The other looks like a child model.
I agree with your winner, it’s much more artistic.

Haha he does look like a child model 😂 but the leaves in front of his face distract from everything else 😂

I like the first one, and the second one is totally giving me the saw-it-in-the-school-library vibe haha!
The Scholastic 1970 one- all I can think of is him crying out “I’m stuck!” lol. The Epsilon 2012 reminds me of a young Frodo? Daydreaming in the Shire? 🙂

This looks like an interesting book! My favourite is that very first cover with the boy and his bird in silhouette – the colouring is beautiful in the background…

That one does have really good colors 😀 I just didn’t like his stance 😂 😂

I like both your picks but give an edge to the runner up actually. I think I just like the color better? 🙂

That makes sense, I like the color of the runner up better, but I like the picture of the other one better
