Oh No! Not Again!: (Or How I Built a Time Machine to Save History) by Dan Santat, Mac Barnett

4.0

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?
