Bookroo's summary

In a science fair gone awry, a young inventor's giant robot wreaks havoc. With a superclaw, laser eye, and mind-controlling powers, the creation spirals out of control. Can she restore order before it's too late? Discover the hilarious consequences of unchecked ambition in this thrilling tale of invention and chaos.

From the publisher

Two major bestselling and award-winning picture book creators combine forces in this kid’s eye account of a science fair gone horribly and hilariously awry! Some kids are too smart for their own good…and maybe for everybody else’s good. When an overly ambitious little girl builds a humongous robot for her science fair, she fully expects to win first place. What she doesn’t expect is the chaos that follows! “I probably shouldn’t have given it a superclaw, or a laser eye, or the power to control dogs’ minds,” she laments. Kids, don’t try this at home! “A must-have.” –Kirkus Reviews Don’t miss the sequel, Oh No! Not Again!: (Or How I Built a Time Machine to Save History)
