AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Bird, Mac, and Maisie have been rescued in The Cardboard by the Witches. They are being pressured to play the board game, Cardboardia, so they can save the land from the Grey Queen. Unfortunately, they can't play since they don't have the rules or Mac's little sister, Pokey, who is lost. Danger only increases as the Grey Queen and her guards close in on them.
The story is a good premise. Who wouldn't want to be able to enter a cardboard box and end up in a magical world. The art is colorful and fun. It's a little confusing in places though. The size is problematic since it's picture book size. It also seems short. I just get interested in the story and the book is done, leaving the storyline up in the air. The characters are diverse, though background is never specified.
