Coveted Cover: The Emerald Atlas

The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens

I think that the cover for The Emerald Atlas really captures what the book is about. Fantasy, adventure, darkness, three children and magic. I haven't read it yet so I'm hoping that the story is as good as the cover, I've heard good things about it so I'm eager to get to it soon. John Stephens worked in television for ten years and was the executive producer of Gossip Girls and a writer for The Gilmore Girls (one of my favourite TV shows) and The O.C. so with those things under his belt I'm hoping that The Emerald Atlas will be great. He also has a dog called Bug which I love.

From Goodreads:

Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in one orphanage after another for the last ten years, passed along like lost baggage. 

Yet these unwanted children are more remarkable than they could possibly imagine. Ripped from their parents as babies, they are being protected from a horrible evil of devastating power, an evil they know nothing about. 

Until now. 

Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey to dangerous and secret corners of the world...a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophesy is correct—what they do can change history, and it is up to them to set things right.
