I’m going down to Bruny Island for a couple of days, leaving later this morning, and while I’m there I’m going to visit the local primary school. It’s a very small school, and their senior class is currently reading Icebreaker – which information sent me looking up the original covers of the series, painted by Sebastian Ciaffaglione.

I still utterly love these covers.

They capture the characters so beautifully.

And they each have all sorts of interesting things happening in the background that you don’t notice until you look more closely.
