Oh No!: Or How My Science Project Destroyed the World by Mac Barnett
3.0
It's rare that I appreciate the structure of a picture book, but find the story itself problematic. Yet Mac Barnett's tale of a girl's science project gone awry achieved just that.
Oh No! (Or How My Science Project Destroyed the World) is a super-modern re-imagining of Frankenstein, but the characters are thin and the plot simplistic within stylistic illustrations.
What I did find valuable: it's a prime example of starting a story late and filling in details later. I would definitely use it as a Writer's Workshop mentor text for narrative.
