A cover for The Glade by Naseem Jamnia. It shows a light-skinned Iranian-American tween with long wavy brown hair blowing across her face as she looks up and away, a light illuminating her from behind. Her fists are clenched and her expression is tight. She's wearing a blue-purple hoodie, halfway unzipped to show a dark shirt, and jeans. Around her are glowing green mushrooms, including ones that are twisted and gnarled like tree trunks, and long grass. Subtle spider webs cover some ares. The title and author name are at the top, with vines curled around some letters.
An image that says, “What’s in The Glade?” with a picture of the cover in the middle and arrows pointing to various inclusions. These are: “anxious, nerdy, and science-y Iranian American MC; racialized and queer cast of misfits; age-appropriate discussions of anxiety, mental illness, trauma, and feeling/being othered; BIG best friend feels; Minnesota- and Midwest-isms; fungal (mushroom) horror; summer camp with secrets; creepy and incorrect nursery rhymes; creepy “kid” and disembodied voices; creepy nature and giant spiders.”
Reminder that THE GLADE by Naseem Jamnia is now available for pre-order!! Get your copy and add to your TBR now! I can't wait! 🍄💚
