Since November 2009Cover Wars: Becoming Scarlett by Ciara Geraghty
August 16th, 2010 by Chloe
I was having a look on Amazon to check the release date of Ciara Geraghty’s second book Becoming Scarlett, and I came across another cover for it, that of which is being released for the Hachette Ireland version of the book due out in September. I have to say I far prefer the Hodder version (on the left) as it far befits Ciara’s books whereas the Hachette edition (right) looks a little too cartoony and light-hearted to the story. I’d definitely pick up the left cover over the right one. Which do you prefer?
Becoming Scarlett is out in the UK through Hodder on 11th November 2010.

I agree i love the left one, but hate the right one it looks child like!
I definitely like the one on the left more, if I saw the one on the right in a book shop then I wouldn’t even pick it up.
Given the quote from The Independant review “Geraghty is a natural-born storyteller, whose fine balance of romance and comedy prevents the frivolities from taking over completely.” I feel that the light-hearted cover suits the story better. The other looks far too serious, I would never pick up the left one. Looks like a magazine cover.
Hi, I realise this comment is a lot later than the others but I have just noticed on Amazon and other websites that if you like the Hodder version (which I personally do) it is available in paperback from 28th April 2011, so a bit longer than the cartoon version but I feel the wait will be worth it :0)!! Sorry if you already know this info but only just noticed it as I was going to purchase the other one xx
