Book cover and interior template I designed for the young adult novel Next by Kevin Waltman, published by Cinco Puntos Press in both hardcover and paperback.

Derrick Bowen has one thing on his mind when basketball practice starts his freshman year: winning the starting point guard job. (Well, a girl too.) But his old-school coach makes him sit on the bench. An elite prep school wants him to transfer from his inner-city public school, but all the adults steering him there have ideas of their own.
