 Booktalk #1

Times are tough for Cam and his dad.  They both still miss Cam’s mom, and now his dad is out of work.  With less than a dollar to spend for Cam’s birthday, what kind of present can his dad possibly afford?  The lamest present on earth, he figures---and he ends up giving Cam a cardboard box he picks up from the second-hand store down the street.  It turns out that they actually have a great time constructing a “man” out of the cardboard, and they both go to sleep happy.  Little do they know that their lives are about to change forever thanks to the magic that cardboard box contained…and the fact that the bully next door wants to use it for his own nefarious ends…Read Cardboard for nonstop action, suspense, and a cardboard character that steals your heart.    (New Hampshire Great Stone Face Book Award nominee, 2015)
