Oddrey is a true individualist: she draws blue, not red, apples; creates a hopscotch grid resembling a work of modern art; etc. This inspires skepticism from her more mainstream classmates, which leaves Oddrey somewhat lonely--until her inventiveness saves the school play. The illustrations add humor but have a slick, cartoony look that's unworthy of the strong storytelling.
