Summary:
Meg’s mother enrolls her in Maker school so Meg can pursue her interest in “boxitecture”- making structures out of boxes. Meg was the school’s first “boxitect” which made her feel important, until Simone, another talented “boxitect” joins the class. Their relationship is painfully competitive, especially when they are challenged to build a structure together for the annual Maker Match. Megan learns a lesson about the benefits of cooperation as she and Simone learn to combine their talents to successfully create an impressive structure. They don’t win the contest but they become good friends. The book includes instructions for those interested in becoming a “boxitect.” Note: the word “boxitect” was invented by the author.
