(2) 4-6 Cam Howerton's out-of-work father gives him a cardboard box for his birthday. "Worst present in the history of birthdays," thinks Mr. Howerton, but the box becomes a father-son project as golem-like "Boxer Bill," created from inanimate material, comes alive. Philosophical musings give way to full-blown action that will grab the attention of graphic novel fans and video-game aficionados. A boldly imaginative and ambitious tale.
