Both a visual feast for the eyes and a healthy helping of thought for the soul. Superb.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeven clever stories answer one simple question: What’s in the box?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFunny, fantastic, spooky, and suspenseful, each of these unique and beautifully illustrated short graphic works revolves around a central theme: a mysterious box and the marvels—or mayhem—that is hidden inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArtists include middle school favourites Kazu Kibuishi, Raina Telgemeier (\u003ci\u003eSmile\u003c\/i\u003e), and Dave Roman (\u003ci\u003eAstronaut Academy\u003c\/i\u003e), as well as Jason Caffoe, Stu Livingston, Johane Matte, Rad Sechrist (all contributors to the groundbreaking comics anthology series Flight), and Emily Carroll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning artist Kazu Kibuishi’s selection creates a mixture of laughs and creeps (with some philosophy) as well as the kind of graphical triumphs expected from Kibuishi’s other collections. With gorgeously detailed full-colour artwork, there is a spooky tale of a sinister doppelgänger invading a girl’s life by up-and-coming comics star Emily Carroll; Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier’s comedy of wizarding errors and online bidding wars; and Rad Sechrist’s romp involving a teenage girl, an introduction to the basics of Shintoism, and a manic butter thief driving a grandma to the brink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo, don’t hesitate. Come and open the box. You’ll be amazed. You’ll be entertained. You’ll be scared.
