Description Toward Books Cardboard

Every page in Doug TenNapel’s Cardboard pops to life with color, action, imagination, and heart!

Cam and his Dad are going through a rough time. Both trying to find a way to live without Cam’s mother. Loneliness, grief, and fear show up throughout the story in heartbreaking quiet ways and not so subtle ways. Add no job, financial woes, bully troubles, and a birthday—well these guys have their hands full! Cam’s father needs a miracle or a bit of magic to afford a gift for his son’s birthday. And magic is just what he finds in a cardboard box. Magic and trouble! Father and son twist, bend, and build people out of the cardboard. People that come to life. And that’s where the trouble begins…

Strong father and son messages color and fill these pages. Fathers trying to find a way to communicate and bond with their sons. (view spoiler)[ I really didn’t want to mention this, but the women characters need work here. Very flat. Tina!--the man will move on when he is ready! Sorry just needed to get that out. The next door neighbor drove me nuts! (hide spoiler)] I loved Cam and his father’s banter and relationship, but about half way through, the story seemed to shift more towards understanding Marcus—the neighborhood bully. To be honest, I really didn’t like Marcus. His eyes gave me the creeps. Huge pools of creepiness! I realize that isn’t the greatest reason to dislike a character, but it’s the truth. Haha…Plus I may have overdosed on the sad, misunderstood bully characters and tales lately. I wished the focus and spotlight had remained on Cam and his Dad.

This comic book is built around a brilliant idea! Cardboard people and monsters that come to life! Love it! But it had a few bumps for me. We never truly learn why or how the cardboard comes to life or any concrete reasoning behind the rules of the box. I’m all for mystery and magic--sometimes not knowing fills a story with wonder and power. But here it just felt a bit lazy leaving so many unanswered questions.

A fun adventure packed with action that will find an audience. But for me, this tale lost its bite and magic about half way through.

I will be on the lookout for more from Mr. TenNapel though. I highly recommend his Bad Island.

Perfect gift for my 11 year old son. He read it in a day! Then my 5 year old son wanted me to read it to him -- and right after we finished it, he asked me to read it to him again. This book addresses so many issues, and naturally. Nothing seemed pushed or hurried. A very fun read that manages to introduce some basic philosophical questions. I took a gamble and bought this book online, solely based on its good reviews. I'm so glad I did! I'd highly recommend it. This could be the book that gets

CardboardDoug TenNapelI enjoyed Cardboard for two reasons. It was face-paced (as any graphic novel, I suppose) and creative. I usually do not like graphic novels, but this one was okay. It was extremely creative and was fun to read. It encourages imagination and has a good "moral to the story." The protagonist, Cam, is a young boy who receives from his father the worst birthday present. Together father and son create something out of nothing and go on an extraordinary adventure. There are also

Doug is one of my favorite authors, and this book is one of the reasons why. It gives me a sense of imagination I have never had before.

This was so.....different!! Really fun and silly. :D I enjoyed!

Mike is an out-of-work carpenter and a widower with a young teen son, Cam. When Mike cant afford a birthday present for Cam, he encounters a strange toy salesman who offers him a cardboard box for under a dollar. The man gives Mike some rules: he has to return any unused cardboard and he cant have more.Mike and Cam make a boxer out of the cardboard, and the boxer comes to life. Bill and Cam are fast friends, but when Cams wealthy and mean-spirited neighbor Marcus decides he wants magic

Another great story from Doug TenNapel! Nothing too fancy, just good storytelling. One his strengths is his ability to keep the story from slowing down. The characters interplay with each other very well, and the story has a type of efficiency in the pacing that makes it easy to read. The art is vibrant and colorful, which adds to it nicely. There are a couple touching moments, but mostly the book is what I think the author intended for it to be- light, fun, easy, and enjoyable. 4/5

Another foray into the middle grades graphic novel genre for me! After a 4th grade student came in and said she loved this book (we had just put it on the shelves), I decided to make this the next graphic novel to read. After waiting a few weeks since a few kids had it on hold, I brought it home and read it quickly. I liked the beginning as Cam's father gives him a box for his birthday and they come to find out that it has magical powers. I could feel the relationship between them was one of
