Cover Reveal: Turtles of the Midnight Moon!

We are so excited to share the beautiful cover for María José Fitzgerald's debut novel, Turtles of the Midnight Moon, a heart-pounding eco-mystery with a hint of magic!

The story follows Barana and Abby as they learn to work together to catch the poachers who have been stealing the precious sea turtle eggs from their beach.

The cover was illustrated by Zeina Shareef, an incredibly talented Maldivian illustrator, and it was designed by the amazing Michelle Cunningham at Knopf Books for Young Readers. Zeina truly captured the friendship and moon magic in this cover, and if you read the book, you might find a few other symbols and hints as well!
