Week 9 Tasks - Create a Front Cover and a Blurb

Now that we've written most of the book, it's time to start thinking about packaging - this means the book's cover and blurb.

Task 1 - Design a cover that:
- is eye catching
- is colourful
- contains the title, 'Monster Avengers'
- contains the author's name*
- contains an illustration
- is 8 by 10 inches (203 x 254 mm) big.

* In our case, there are too many names to list, so you must decide what to call ourselves. It needs to be a name that shows that many children worked together.

You may create your cover by hand, on a computer or using a combination. If you create by hand you may use paint, pens, collaging - whatever it takes to create a bright and cheerful cover.

Task 2 - Design a blurb that:
- make people want to read the story
- is between 100 and 150 words long
- is in third person (e.g. 'Simon is' or 'Turbo is', but not 'I am')
- is in present tense (e.g. 'Simon is' or 'Turbo is', but not 'Simon was')
- tells the reader what our story is about
- doesn't give too much away

Tips
- Looking at other blurbs
- The making of The Troll Trap's cover
