I pulled out ten or so older books that were once popular years ago but whose covers were dated or weren't that good even back then. I then printed out photos of current young actors and poses that were appropriate for these books, and re-covered them, telling our students to go ahead and judge them!
There were a few disappointed girls who thought these books were being made into movies... but otherwise, they were all snapped up - mission accomplished!
Next step will be to see if any of these books have newer editions with more accessible covers.
How do you get your students to take out books with unappealing covers?
