Samples from the Lab chronicles the awkward and amusing experiments of Professor Fictitious Karacter. The story follows his misguided attempts to meddle with nature and the eventual, disastrous results.
The story is written as a whimsical scientific journal with daily entries describing Fictitious’s experiments, along with illustrated drawings and sketches of the unexpected results. The scientific logic is nonexistent and the outcomes are unlikely to be reproduced except as puns and visual humour.
The story however still has some relevance as a strange virus starts to spread. The diary entries become a little more panicked as things begin to spiral out of control. Fictitious eventually meets an unlikely end but the curious creatures go on to escape the lab and inspire a book.
Samples from the Lab appeals to readers of all ages, particularly 11 and up.
