The covers of the 2018 books makes
complete sense now why AG was discounting all the books. The covers
look like Wellie Wishers! We ordered these through scholastic book
orders. My daughter
doesn't really want more dolls, but she still loves the books. At first
I thought I had received the wrong books. I am not sure if I like
these covers. I am sure the stories will be great, but the covers are
just not the same even for GOTY.

Good observation concerning the books. I can see how the sale makes sense because in 2014 this was done around the time Beforever launched their new look and the older books were discounted at very low prices. This time was a surprise seeing the books at a dollar! I did not even question it. Truly a major turning point for AG.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. I do not like these covers at all. They look cartoonish and juvenile, and just don't look like quality. What a shame, the direction AG seems to be taking.

Thanks for sharing the books and observation of the new cover. It is probably cost saving drawing versus picture of an actual girl.
ReplyDeleteI did think that a change was coming with the books, and I was secretly hoping it was going to be a change back to the 6 volume set, that AG had seen the light. ha ha I was even more hopeful when I saw the supposed box for GOTY 2018, being the old style with the round window versus the full view window. In the pictures that I saw I did see the book, but didn't think about the cover art.
Thank you for sharing. We cant wait to get these book. Can anyone please tell me is any of this story in Houston,Texas?
ReplyDeleteI believe she goes to space camp which I think is in Huntsville, Alabama. But Houston may be part of the story as well.
DeleteThank you. Can't wait to find out.
