Correct Cover

I think that the second cover with the red/orange background and with what seems to be Ben perched on a landing and an adult opening up windows in front and below him. I believe that this cover best represents Lessing's novel, The 5th Child, because its color scheme gives off a feel of frustration and chaos that was felt throughout the book during Ben's life. The darkness of the silhouette the artist gave Ben extenuates the dark regions of Ben's brain and personality and how only he truly knows whats going on inside of there. The pose that the artist put Ben in also visually describes his animalistic qualities that Lessing constantly eluded to in the novel.
"Ben began banging a stone against a metal tray...with all his force...but the women waited until Ben stopped: interrupted, he would have raged and hissed and spat."(Lessing, 69).
The total reaction I get from this cover is a creepy, dangerous feel from how the dark, shadow-y Ben is placed behind the other figure, so unknowingly there, like he is about to attack. Even the subtleties like how you see individual fingers on his hands is almost claw-like, giving chills down my spine.
