The Cardboard Kingdom by Chad Sell
5.0
adventurous funny lighthearted reflective relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

Read for Kid Book Club: Book with a Blue Cover.

Wow - I did not expect to love this book as much as I did! I loved all the characters and how each one was unique and fun. It was such a fun story that centered around the power of imagination. The graphic novel format was stellar when it came to showing the imaginative play versus the reality of how a situation looks. 

I also loved how each character was dealing with something more serious at home - whether it was
fighting parents, unsupportive moms, controlling grandmas, upset fathers, etc
. It emphasized that friendships and imagination can help you escape to better worlds.
