Students will love the newest book in the Cardboard Kingdom series. The kids are back and the Cardboard Kingdom is still going strong, even in the snow. However, new kids from across the bridge have emerged and the Cardboard Kingdom crew isn’t too sure what to make of them. The book is written in a series of stories, told from the different perspectives of the kids, and each contributes to the wider storyline. The short stories could feel a little confusing at times because of the wide cast of characters. They very much reflect the challenges faced by this age group: making new friends, solving problems, and figuring out how to fit into the bigger picture. The artwork is fantastic and is very appealing to the younger generation of graphic novel lovers.
