The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.

This weeks’ theme is a cover featuring footsteps: ‘Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap.’

This week I have chosen The Mystery of the Flaming Footprints by M.V. Carey.

Cover A:

Cover B:

Cover C:

Cover D:

Cover E:

Cover F:

And the winner is… COVER F!

This cover has an almost Enid Blytonesque vibe about it, with the vibrant colours and artwork style. I like the way the footsteps are depicted, not just flaming but as something altogether supernatural.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next weeks’ theme is a book cover featuring vines: “clinging and invasive.”
