Author Notes

She found work as an actress and comedy performer and has performed regularly at Edinburgh and London comedy festivals. Because of her job touring around the UK as a storyteller, she decided to try writing a children's book. Her first book, My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish, was published in 2013. The series of books, by the same name, went on to become bestsellers and to be translated into several foreign languages.

Horn Book Review

Mark, the supervillain older brother from O'Hara's My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series, costars with his vampire kitten, Fang, in this spinoff about his adventures at Evil Scientist Summer Camp. Engaging black-and-white vignettes depict the budding scientists in all their sinister glory--complete with angry eyebrows and pristine lab coats--as a humorous, fast-paced narrative captures camp activities both familiar (competitions) and unconventional (evil-henchmen training).

Booklist Review

Drawing older characters from her My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series, O'Hara sends budding supervillain Mark; his evil kitten, Fang (smuggled in, as pets are strictly forbidden); and his cohort in crime, Sanj, to evil scientist summer camp, aka Camp Mwhaaa-Haa-Ha-A-Watha. There he finds himself abandoned by the treacherous Sanj (who hooks up with Dustin, a rare evil Canadian) and forced to pair with a despised fellow camper, whom he dubs Geeky Girl, in a hot competition for Evil Emperor of the Week. Mark spends most of his time and energy frantically trying to keep his ill-tempered pet fed and hidden. Readers will likely see this warm attachment as his main redeeming feature, as he otherwise comes off as a sexist twit for the cold hostility with which he treats his reluctant partner. By the end, though he never does bring himself to mention her actual name, the two manage to work together well enough. Jagucki's frequent vignettes add properly sinister notes with lots of glowering faces and figures in mad-scientist-style lab coats.--Peters, John Copyright 2018 Booklist
