New and Improved Cover (Dust Cover)

I bought the book The Highwayman of Tanglewood (By Marcia Lynn McClure)!!!!!! I am very happy because I love it so much! The one thing I can't stand about the book though, is its cover. I know, I know, "never judge a book by its cover" but honestly, when my friend showed me this book for the first time, I just wanted to laugh because the cover made it appear like a corny book with a corny storyline, despite all of the great things i had heard about it! I even tried to get my older sister to read it after I had, but she said, and I quote, "It looks stupid," even though I praised it so much she won't read it because of its cover! So, I decided that I would make my own cover to it, a more attractive cover, one that deserves that book. I thought it would be a cool idea, and so I did it! PICTURES BELOW!!!!
