A proof copy of a book. Plain navy background with 'The Doomsday Club' written in yellow font across the top. Tagline in the middle in white font: Detention Can Wait. Saving the World Comes First!' Beneath that, the words Advance Reading Copy. Beneath that, the author's name in yellow font: Kevin Moran. At the bottom of the image is the publisher's logo, a pennant flag facing to the left, dark colour background, with 'O'Brien' written on it in white letters.
Don't sleep on this one! #TheDoomsdayClub, coming from @theobrienpress.bsky.social very soon, written by brilliant debut author @kmoranwrites.bsky.social, is a fantastic story full of leap-off-the-page characters, snappy dialogue, genuinely pants-wetting terror and tons of laughs. I loved it!
