Forget the poor design–what about all of the copyrighted products shown? Unless the designer/author paid for those images, there could be big, big trouble. And by trouble I mean lawsuits.
I see the title and immediately think of a certain bear. A bear that is smarter than the average bear. A talking bear. A hat-and-tie-wearing, talking bear saying, “Hey BooBoo! Watch me get this pick-a-nic basket.”
Upon seeing the actual cover, I see the confusion the author suffers about what a book really is. Not even the chance to read a novel about something as exciting and fascinating as a “weekend in the life of an average 5th grader” convinces me to want to read this thing.

At the risk of being called a bully again, I think this one is a winner… of the worst cover ever seen here title. It almost looks like a parody of “everything you shoudln’t do to your book cover”.
I understand people live in less fortunate conditions or places, but if someone can write and publish a book online, that person had access to millions of book covers. And information on the laws of trademarks and copyrights…
Superfriends!! That alone earns this cover a thumbs up from me!

Better to have used a ‘My Name Is ___’ label for the cover. This just looks like a child’s sugar-induced hallucination (especially if all the kid eats over the weekend is donuts and strawberry preserves).

Good.
Mwah-ha-ha.
There is no reason for me to care about a random 5th grader. Especially when all the activities are (illegally) displayed on the cover. Pass.
Holy freakin’ wow. And not in a good way.
