Carboard

by Doug TenNapel

This is a wonderful, heartwarming, creative, empowering story about Cam. He and his Dad are devastated after his mother’s death and making matters worse, his father can only afford to give him a cardboard box for his birthday. But, when they bend the box into a man, it comes to life and the adventures begin – including saving the world from Marcus, the neighborhood bully.

Starred review from Booklist.

Grades 3-6
