Judging a Book By Its Cover #29: A Kid's Perspective on Antigoddess by Kendare Blake

Covers By Katie
Okay, so I totally stole this idea from Sara at Forever 17 Books, who got the idea from an article on Babble called Judging a Book by Its Cover: A 6-year-old Guesses What Classic Novels Are All About.  I just discovered her lovely segment, and I immediately requested forced my own five-year-old daughter Katie to provide me with some of her own cover art artwork and then asked her what she thought the book was about.



This week, Katie gave me her take on the following book:

Add to Goodreads






"A girl found a feather and she got a little bit of the feather in her mouth and choked on it.  And then she died and she left blood on the feather and it leaked in the water."












Cover Art

Antigoddess as envisioned by Katiebug

I swear I didn't read the synopsis from Goodreads to her before she told me what she thought the book was about!  But, wow, how good is she?  Also, should I be worried about her?  :P  I can't wait to get to this book. I love Kendare's writing and I can't wait to see what she does with mythology.  She brought the creepy with the Anna books, and I'm hoping for more of the same.  And by the looks of the cover, I'm in for it.  :D

Have you read this book or do you plan to?  What do you think of Katie's guess at the premise?  

 Did your little darling create a work of art based on a book this week? If so, be sure to link up with Sara over at Forever 17 Books.

    I love this feature. Is the feather a bit stringy at the end because she choked on it? And yeah, in all seriousness too, I've read nothing but good things about this one, and ANNA was definitely creepy and a great show of talent from Ms. Blake. So looking forward to what she does with Greek mythology! Not too long now, I suppose :).
