The name of this book is "__My Side of the Mountain__" by Jean Craighead George. This book is a fictional story about how a boy named Sam G ribley survives in the wilderness of upstate New York. During his time in the wilderness Same builds a shelter out of the inside of a tree that made and learns to train one of the most deadly birds of all time, the Peregrine Falcon. Not only does Sam have a friend in the wilderness with him, but he also has a way to get food and survive. The book is a fun and adventurous path of events that keep Sam alert and on his feet. I feel that this cover has very good typography and elements in it because the title  of the book ha s normal kerning between words which makes everything feel spacious and visually appealing. Not only does the cover have good kerning but it also bottom right justification which allows the cover to have a larger image. []

The name of this book is "__The Batboy__" by Mike Lupica. This book is a fictional story about a boy that has every baseball kid's summer dream. He is the batboy of his hometown's major league baseball team, the Detroit Tigers. He is more excited than ever to spend time on the inside with all the major league players and get attention that his dad never gave him. Overall, this book shows the struggle that one has when not being support by others but over comes that and finds a way to persevere and achieve the ultimate end goal. This book cover is has good examples of typography, illustration, and elements of art because of the justification of the title and also where the authors name is centered. Additionally, the book cover also has positive leading in it. Personally, to me the illustration on this book cover is very cool and unique because not only does it show a picture of the batboy but it also shows where his job is and him surrounded by all the non-stop action.

 The name of this book is "__Heat__" by Mike Lupica. This book is a story about Michael Arroyo has a pitching arm that throws serious heat. The firepower that he has doesn't compare to the heat Michael faces in his daily life. He was newly orphaned after his father led his family to escape from Cuba. Now, the only family he has now is his seventeen-year-old brother Carlos. In the end, Michael is able to overcome the struggles that are thrown at him both on the field and at home. Not having a family is hard for both Michael and Carlos, but by supporting each other they turn out okay. The book cover of "Heat" is plain but interesting at the same time. The word heat has a large amount of kerning which emphasizes the title of the book and draws the attention of the viewer to pick up the book and check it out. Another element in this book cover is the justification in the cover. The justification is left-centered and makes everything feel organized and complete.
