The second book in our Cardboard Kingdom series, ROAR OF THE BEAST, is out today!
Making the first Cardboard Kingdom was a magical experience – teaming up with ten writers who each contributed characters and shared their stories. I wasn’t sure how we could possibly capture that magic again for a second book, but I think that we’ve come up with something pretty dang exciting in ROAR OF THE BEAST!
The same creative team joined me to create an epic adventure in the Cardboard Kingdom where a mysterious monster stalks through the neighborhood at night. Every kid in the Kingdom will need to join together to solve the mystery and defeat (or master?) this menacing new monster!
Thank you to Vid Alliger, Manuel Betancourt, Michael Cole, David DeMeo, Jay Fuller-Ng, Cloud Jacobs, Barbara Perez Marquez, Molly Muldoon, and Katie Schenkel for joining me yet again on this wild, creative journey! Thank you to Marisa DiNovis, who was our editor and champion throughout! And thanks to everyone at Penguin Random House for making this book happen!
We hope that this book will tickle and thrill readers of all ages, and we get SO EXCITED to hear your reactions and see your own creative cardboard costumes and creations! Although the publication of ROAR OF THE BEAST is the culmination of several years of work from a huge creative team, it feels like the start of something special as readers around the world can finally return to the CARDBOARD KINGDOM! Available wherever books are sold!
