The Cardboard Kingdom
by Molly Muldoon, Michael Cole, Manuel Betancourt, Chad Sell, Kris Moore, Barbara Perez Marquez, Jay Fuller, David DeMeo, Cloud Jacobs, Katie Schenkel, Vid Alliger
I got this book for $2 at the Scholastic Book fair this past fall. It is worth so much more than $2!
The Cardboard Kingdom follows the stories of 16 different kids during the summer. All the kids live in the same neighborhood and end up creating a big, elaborate game throughout the summer. In the game each kid is a different character- most are super hero, knight types of characters. All the props and outfits are made out of old cardboard scraps the kids come across. I really love how the illustrations show how to outsiders it just looks like homemade things, but to the kids they are living a full color adventure. I also really love how each character has a different backstory and tough topics are addressed in fun, easy ways.
At the end of the day this book is a beautiful story about being yourself
