Bookroo's summary

Meg, a creative boxitect, faces a new challenge when Simone, equally talented, joins Maker School. As rivals, their competitive spirit threatens their success in the annual Maker Match. When their ambitious project spirals into chaos, Meg and Simone must overcome their differences and collaborate. Can they transform their rivalry into teamwork and achieve greatness together?

From the publisher

A STEAM-centered, adorably illustrated picture book about Meg, a brilliant and creative boxitect who creates extraordinary things out of ordinary cardboard boxes. Meg is a brilliant and creative boxitect. She loves impressing her teacher and classmates with what she makes out of boxes. But there’s a new kid at Maker School: Simone. Simone is good at everything, and worst of all, she’s a boxitect too. When the annual Maker Match is held, Meg and Simone are paired as a team but can’t seem to stop arguing. When their extraordinary project turns into a huge disaster, they must find a way to join creative forces, lift each other up, and work together.
