In a Pickle: a middle grade book cover reveal

The cover of IN A PICKLE by Beth Overmyer. Charlie Pickle (the protagonist and hero of our story) stands in the moonlight at a pier by water and the 1910s Chicago skyline. He shines a flashlight in his face, and behind him is a shadowy figure we cannot entirely make out.

A big thanks to Abdullah and the team at Book Cover Hub for the excellent cover they made for In a Pickle! And a huge thanks to my online friend Edward for formatting the e-book and paperback editions!

This middle grade book released originally as an e-book from a small press (MuseItYoung, an imprint of MuseItUp Publishing) which sadly has since closed its doors. Thankfully, I retained all the rights, so I have no rereleased it into the world.

Here’s what the book is about: As if angry nuns and bullies weren’t enough to handle, a time-traveling orphan gets caught up in a murder. Charlie Pickle can’t stay put in the year 1920, due to an annoying habit of time-traveling. On a trip back to 1910, he meets a man with a secret. Murder makes the headlines that day, and Charlie’s new friend knows who the guilty party is. Now, not only does Charlie have bullies and murderers to contend with, he’s got some history to fix.

In a Pickle is available for purchase from Amazon and will be at in-person events that I participate in. Stay tuned!
