I requested this book from its publisher, a while ago. However, I made a mistake. Conspiracy Girl is a picture book. I suggest that you stop reading this review if you aren't interested, but I said I would review it so here goes.
Official Description:
See that flock of birds over there? Looks pretty normal, right? But Nina sees right through their mangy feathers and divines their plot to end the world in a nuclear ball of white noise. What to do? Save the world armed only with a box of cereal? Perhaps.
I wasn't expecting a picture book from the description. It wasn't what I expected, but I kept an open mind. However, upon reading it, I just didn't get it. I was confused, and I believe that my mind is more sophisticated than the target audience's.
The illustrations were very interesting and artistic, though.
If the plot was smoother, I might recommend it, but as it is, I would not. The book just needs some fine tuning.
In other news, if you haven't already, I suggest you check out my twitter page @BookshelfSecret so that you can be notified when I post a new review!
Happy Reading!
