5/22/2023 0 Comments Cardboard book by doug tennapelWhen Marcus’ plans go horribly, terribly awry, he discovers that he needs one thing that money can’t buy: a friend to help him. The animated man catches the interest of menacing Marcus, a well-off, wide-eyed, fish-lipped bully, who steals the cardboard for his own malicious intent. In an attempt to make the bland box more exciting, his father fashions a cardboard man, a boxer he names Bill, who undergoes a Pinocchio-like transformation and becomes a loyal friend. From the get-go, it is apparent that this is no ordinary cardboard: It comes with a list of rules, which Cam’s father casually dismisses. Currently unemployed and virtually penniless, Cam’s father buys him the only birthday present he can afford: a cardboard box. Though dealing with the recent death of his mother, Cam and his father are trying to make the best of a difficult time. An out-of-the-box story of golems, guys and guts.
