Cardboard by Doug Tennapel -ADVISABLE


Tennapel, Doug Cardboard 288 pgs. GRAPHIX, 2012 (Aug). $7.50.  (Rating: Violence PG, Language G, Sexual G)
Cam’s Dad can’t find work so they have no money –and he really wants to buy Cam a special birthday present. When a strange man sells him a cardboard box to give Cam as his gift, it starts off a chain of events that neither of them can believe.  When his neighbor Marcus gets involved, all of their lives will be in danger.
This was actually a pretty fun graphic novel! The characters were well developed and students will love the way things get out of control so quickly. The plot was creative and fun!
ELEMENTARY – ADVISABLE Reviewer: Stephanie MLS graduate & Author.
