London-based publisher Faber and Faber asked British teen artists aged thirteen to sixteen to submit their cover designs for the new educational imprint of William Golding’s famed 1954 novel. The winner is titled “Into the Mouth of the Beast”. What do you think of it? Look at the others. Which one do you like best? Why? Write its name.
