Here is a sneak preview of the cover for 'The 13 Curses', the sequel to Michelle Harrison's 'The 13 Treasures' which won the Waterstone's Children's book prize earlier this year.
Having illustrated the cover for the first book, I really wanted to push this one and try to make it better - it's certainly more intricate with lots of detail, but I'll leave it up to you to see if you think it measures up.
I think the background may end being a foil, to make it more eye catching on the shelves/racks..... and I'm sure the designer, Nick Stearn at Simon & Schuster, will do a fab job of that (thanks for the low-res Nick).
Here's hoping that upon it's release it is as successful as the first book, I'm sure it will be equally fantastic to read -so keep your eyes peeled at your local bookstore.

I loved the first cover, as you know, but I think this one is even better! Thanks so much for doing another excellent job.
Hey Michelle
Thanks for stopping by, no problem - a pleasure - I'm just so glad everyone is happy with it. I think all the fans of your first book can't wait to see what happens next, so I hope it comes out soon!
Best,
Chris
