About book Lunch Lady And The Schoolwide Scuffle (2014)
My kids have discovered a new series, the Lunch Lady. Colin LOVES the humor and graphic novel format. Cadence devours them because they are there and they are fun. I enjoy the irony and wit and was amused by the tongue-in-cheek references about cutting school funding in this particular adventure-- arts, library, and even P.E. (replaced by treadmills) and the cafeteria program (replaced by vending machines)! I think we all get a kick out of the onomotapeia (Boof!) and crazy cafeteria related accessories (like fish stick nunchucks and linguini lasso). I really love this series. We only have a few at the library, but they are so cute.This one was scary at the start. Yikes! The new school superintendent has made some horrifying changes at Thompson Brook School. The villains from previous stories are now in charge, the cafeteria has been reduced to snack vending machines, and the gym is now just a room full of treadmills. Lunch Lady is at home eating chips and watching tv. Her sidekick, Betty, has to work at Grease Burger. How will the Breakfast Bunch survive?!Oh, and the Librarians are on the Rampage, as well. Always happy to see evil librarians!There ensues an epic struggle between the forces of evil and the entire school, but can they overcome the evil conspiracy?No worries to conservatives that this is some bleeding-heart-liberal diatribe against funding cuts - the plot is far more diabolical! The earth's very existence is in danger! OMG! Lunch Lady, you must save us!
