MIDDLE GRADE & YOUNG ADULT
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
A mock cover for the first book in Scott Westerfeld's steampunk novel Leviathan. This is the first book in my all-time favorite young adult series and making this cover was such a fun excuse to revisit these beloved characters.
The title font is PF Fuel Decay from Adobe Fonts, modified to include the illustrated elements.
