Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, Awkward, and All's Faire in
Middle School, this graphic novel follows a neighborhood of kids who
transform ordinary cardboard into fantastical homemade costumes as they
explore conflicts with friends, family, and their own identity.
"A breath of fresh air, this tender and dynamic collection is a
must-have." --Kirkus, Starred
Welcome to a neighborhood of kids who transform ordinary boxes into
colorful costumes, and their ordinary block into cardboard kingdom. This
is the summer when sixteen kids encounter knights and rogues, robots and
monsters--and their own inner demons--on one last quest before school
starts again.
In the Cardboard Kingdom, you can be anything you want to be--imagine
that!
The Cardboard Kingdom was created, organized, and drawn by Chad Sell
with writing from ten other authors: Jay Fuller, David DeMeo, Katie
Schenkel, Kris Moore, Molly Muldoon, Vid Alliger, Manuel Betancourt,
Michael Cole, Cloud Jacobs, and Barbara Perez Marquez. The Cardboard
Kingdom affirms the power of imagination and play during the most
important years of adolescent identity-searching and emotional growth.
