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.
"There's room for everyone inside The Cardboard Kingdom, where friendship and imagination reign supreme." --Ingrid Law, New York Times bestselling author of Savvy
"A timely and colorful graphic novel debut that, like its many offbeat but on-point characters, marches to the beat of its own cardboard drum." --Tim Federle, award-winning author of Better Nate Than Ever

This week I read Cardboard Kingdom, it is by Chad Sell, and was released in 2018. I read it again because it was a really good book in 4th grade and I want to read it again and it was better the second time! The book was fascinating and way cooler because I like how the book can give you imagination for you to create more stuff! The book is about some people who are making cardboard characters and made a cardboard kingdom. They are in the middle of summer and they are using their imagination before they go back to school! I would rate this book 9/10 because it has the potential of create things for kids in their mind and might even win March Madness Book Tournament! I would recommend this book to people who like graphic novels, like to think of what they want in a picture, and like books with imagination!
Overall, this is a really good book and good to take a look at this book at all ages and is for boys and girls!

It was during the summer, these group of kids around the neighborhood had a lot of cardboard boxes they didn't need. They didn't know what to do with the boxes. It took these kids a couple of days for them to decide a brilliant idea. Couple weeks later, they decided they should make a kingdom out of cardboard boxes!!! The group of kids made that happen these kids put a lot of creativity and imagination into their idea! They had turned ordinary boring boxes into something Amazing!!! I would recommend this book to kids that enjoy using creativity and imagination!
