Pokey is turning six and she’s super excited. Her older brother, Mac, and his friends Maisie and Bird are in middle school. When they get weird tokens in their cereal boxes they are transported to a land made of paper and cardboard named Cardboardia. They have to navigate their way through the land while someone evil seems to be following them.
The artwork is awesome and the premise of traveling to a parallel universe via cardboard box is great. The downside is that the story ended quite abruptly just when the plot was established. The reader doesn’t know what the kids’ special talents are and neither do the characters, so it was less than satisfying. Hang on for the sequel.
