Anna-Marie McLemore

The book cover of "The Weight of Feathers" by Anna-Marie McLemore features a book quote from Sabaa Tahir, author of "An Ember in the Ashes;" "A gripping, beautifully rendered story ... and a fantastical world as captivating as that of "The Night Circus." Below the quote, the silhouettes of a young couple are embracing. They stand on the top of a thin branch that crosses the cover. Below them, four other branches. All around them, feathers float. The Morris Debut YA Award seal has been affixed.
