A photograph of Nat Luurtsema against an olive green background. She is wearing a lilac shortsleeved top. On the right, her book cover - The Overthinkers Club. It's a bright lilac and yellow book cover with bold font and simple, thick outlined illustrations of three characters sitting on beanbags. The background is light blue with the "N" logo for Newark Book Festival and a pink banner at the bottom of the photograph says their name.
