This is the cover. It needs work, but this is the basic concept.
People say fiction is an escape. That concept used to bother me. Not anymore. Now I see that we need an escape. We need a place we can go to in order to make sense out of our world. I had that thought during testing time. I watched students gathering before school, backs against the wall, novels open, reading the lastest mid-level and young adult fiction. It was everything that the standardized testing wasn't. It was their escape - not unlike Andy DuFresne playing opera over the loudspeakers in
Shawshank Redemption. So, I'm going to embrace that concept. I want to be an escape artist.
