We’re thrilled to share this exciting first look at the cover of Margaret Finnegan’s debut middle grade novel, We Could Be Heroes. We’re also delighted to offer an exclusive giveaway for a chance to win an autographed bound manuscript. Please see details below.
What I Love About The Cover:
After the cool title (who doesn’t love this Bowie song?) pulled me in, I found the cover’s rich color combination very appealing. And then there’s the boy, the girl and the dog—I’m curious where they are, how they are connected to one another and what point/scene in the book this particular illustration represents—so I asked Margaret. She said she didn’t want to give away too much, but did offer this: “In the cover, fourth graders Hank, Maisie and sweet pitbull Booler look down over their hometown of Meadowlark, Montana.” By the way, if you’re wondering who created the fabulous cover illustration, that would be artist Alexandra Bye.
About the Book:
When Hank Hudson accidentally sets his school on fire, Maisie Huang thinks she has finally found someone brave enough to help her rescue a neglected dog named Booler.
Together, the two outsiders will create a friendship born of difference, imagination, and a commitment to being the heroes of not only Booler’s story, but their own.
Release date 2/25/20 from Atheneum.

About the Author:

And when she is not doing either of those things she is probably watching movies with her family, walking her new puppy, Walt, or baking really good chocolate cakes.

Well said, Wendell.

Super to hear, Jilanne! I’m intrigued, too, and look forward to reviewing the novel next year.
Oh, I love the vibe of this cover. Adventure, friendship, a dog–and Montana! I’m excited for this one!!
And a good cover vibe makes all the difference! I think Alexandra Bye did a terrific job in capturing a moment.
Sounds interesting! School on fire and saving a dog! Can’t wait to read. Followed you both.
The cover is absolutely gorgeous & the synopsis is so intriguing. Definitely adding to my TBR list. As a dog mom of 2 rescue beagles, I love that one of characters wants to rescue a neglected dog. I would love to feature WE COULD BE HEROES on my blog, Beagles & Books. Thanks for the opportunity!
