Illustrated by
Jana Christy.
Still recuperating from her evil-genius little sister's last experiment, eleven-year-old Masha (Sunny Sweet Is So Not Sorry) unknowingly becomes the subject of Sunny's latest, which involves red dye, falling into a grave, and public humiliation. Mann shrouds a lesson about accepting differences in over-the-top humor; fans of the unrelenting absurdity, enlivened in sweet black-and-white drawings, will hanker for the next experiment.
