The Cardboard Kingdom is on winter break and having fun until newcomers from Parkside want to join in the fun. Some, like Jack, the Sorceress want to crush them and others want to join forces. Just when it seems the sides are resolving their issues, sneak attacks threaten an all-out battle.
The art is colorful and the the story is divided up into handy chapters. It's nice to see kids being creative and playing outdoors instead of with technology. The kids are pretty intense with their role playing and take their battles seriously. The plot was pretty straightforward with few surprises, but nice themes of people changing for the better. Various cultures are represented through the artwork and one character lives with her mom and her mother's girlfriend.
