The Wright 3 by Blue Balliett has an intensely mysterious cover; considered extremely eye catching by several audiences; yet some are fooled by the mystery and imagery portrayed on the cover designed by Brett Helquist. It appears as if three pals are wandering of the lanes in desperate search of something; but only to the untrained eye. If desired; one can notice numerous decisive messages and not just the tip of the iceberg. If observed charily, one notices a shadowy figure lurking upon the three children from the gloomy balcony in the concrete building.
Anonymous is very suspicious and seems like the mastermind is plotting plans based on his enemies decisionsHelquist has designed an appearing- to-be-a-full moon figure that is sneaking from the dense woods; giving an illusion as if the children, the heroes are in danger and have a serious tension luring them in a trap.Often unnoticed, Petra Andalee- the subtle tomboy has seized onto a portrait sized package. The trio already seems tensed and nervous; her tight fist holding that package clearly makes it seem that the mystery is dangerous and the object is valuable.Not many clues are spilled through this gloomy cover but much of the summary is revealed. One can clarify that this narrative has a mystery to unfold; mainly by the trio, the setting in it’s entirety; doesn’t seem very dangerous; hence, the shadowy criminal spying from behind the curtains is the misfit.
