I'm sorry, Kay, but I have to disallow this book. All cover tasks require the object to be prominent and the focus of the book. I would say the silhouette of the person is not the focus of the cover.

Do you have the Russia task? (Card 7, Science, Yay - Set in Russia, or written by a Russian author)? You could use it there.

OK no worries, thanks Janice will fix!
