The cover features a dynamic, whimsical nighttime scene with a dramatic full moon illuminating a dreamy, star-speckled sky. At the forefront stands the honey-brown-haired girl in distress, holding a shimmering blue-and-silver sword, her expression both fragile and hopeful. Surrounding her in a protective semi-circle are the other characters. To her left, a brown-haired girl wields a blazing sword of fire, her posture confident, a joyful expression on her face. To her right, a second brown-haired girl with a carefree, happy expression reaches out as though in reassurance. A blond-haired boy stands beside them, radiating determination with a joyful expression, while the brown-haired boy, slightly behind the group, has an angry, determined look, as if poised to strike. Hovering slightly above is a whimsical, oversized smiling bee, radiating warmth and joy, with trails of honey-colored sparkles floating in the air. The background creates an enchanted forest-like setting, with swirls of glowing light and faint silhouettes of monstrous, benevolent beasts lurking nearby to tie into the "monsters" theme.
The title "Monsters Save Althea" is displayed in elegant, bold serif typography with a glowing texture resembling moonlight, placed at the top of the cover. The author's names, "Gabrielle Fisher, Emma Johnson," are written in a subtle but modern sans-serif font in white, positioned neatly at the bottom, ensuring visual balance.

The visual composition combines whimsy and protection, highlighting the theme of companionship and heroism central to the story.
