The Cardboard Kingdom

A group of neighborhood kids create fantastical adventures and imaginative worlds out of cardboard in their backyard. The book explores gender identity, friendship, family life, and social issues through the eyes of these young characters. 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!
