Conspiracy Girl by Karen Chacek and Abraham Balcazar 1/5 stars

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!
