The sequel to Oh No! (Or How My Science Report Destroyed the World) takes on history class. The female protagonist messes up her perfect score on a history test by missing the first question: In what modern country do we find the oldest prehistoric cave paintings? So she figures out a simple answer to getting a perfect score: she builds a time machine to change history so that her answer of Belgium is correct. When she finally reaches the right point in history, she is faced with two Neanderthals who aren’t really interested in creating art. They’d much rather stick the paintbrushes up their nose or munch on the paint palette. Spray paint worked even less well. When our hero heads into the cave to do it herself though, the Neanderthals highjack her time machine. What’s that going to do to her history grade?

Frustrated by a less than perfect score on her history test, a young overachiever builds a time machine to go back and change history so that her answer is correct. The results are not what she anticipates.

It’s a vivid and very funny time travel tale that can be shared with the youngest audience or reader, and comes complete with time machine diagram and a “Time Transit Services” map.
