The Cardboard Kingdom by Chad Sell

5.0

This book checks all the boxes for a middle grade graphic novel. All of them. Basically, a bunch of kids spend a summer playing together with cardboard boxes and becoming heroes and villains. They come from various backgrounds, but their common ground is the cardboard boxes. We have race diversity, LGBTQA+ diversity, body diversity, possible neurodiversity.
The Prince and the Rogue story was my favorite.

There's not a lot of "plot," but there are many mini-stories going on. It's a feel good book about the simplicity of imagination and a cardboard box.
