Paranormal / Fantasy book cover, spine and back targeting readers ages 8 to 12 (Characters in book are age 15).

This is a bright colorful children's book, more medieval-style - NOT dark nor dystopia. DO NOT want to see Black anywhere (especially in the background).

A. Make the Cover simple, uncomplicated and uncluttered. I like BRIGHT, no black background.  

TITLE at the TOP / My NAME on BOTTOM!

KEY: Each Auraling has an AURA - a static ORB-looking colored energy field tightly fitted around their body (not flowing with tentacles and flames going everywhere....). This is #1 element.

There are five (5) team members here with Norman being the main character.

A very large ancient book (tome) is an important element

The team crest - the 5-sided star is found on their shields and capes.

Each team member wears a crystal necklace (its where they're magic comes from).

Each team member has a hooded cape in the color of their own aura (see names and colors of each character's aura above) with team crest on upper left chest area of cape.
