The Changes to the Cover
Ever since Grace Cahill died and her Last Will and Testament was read, Amy and Dan Cahill (the main characters in all 10 novels) were chased from one continent to another, by their own family (uncles, aunts, and cousins).

I added the Scholastic Logo, the Price tag, with the ISBN number (just to let you know, the publisher uses the same ISBN number for all the book 1’s published this way they can see how many have been sold – neat). I also added the skulls used on the cover,
