PLOT SUMMARY

In this graphic novel, Jarrett J. Krosoczka writes the series of the Lunch Lady. Lunch Lady is an

undercover superhero. In this episode, students have a suspicion about their librarian. The students

turned to the Lunch Lady for help and surprisingly discovered their librarian’s evil plot.


CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Krosoczka writes this clever, hilarious graphic novel series of the Lunch Lady being an undercover

superhero. I am not one to enjoy graphic novels, but this novel was fun to read and will leave you

laughing out loud! This cleverly written series has the librarian with her own super powers with an

evil plot in mind. You will not want to put this novel down with all the justice and lunch being served

here!


Krosoczka’s illustrations are simple black and white. But the yellow hues really pop out of the pages

allowing you to feel the character’s emotions with intensity. This was an easy to read graphic novel

with a sense of humor. I highly recommend this graphic novel and could be read-aloud as well. 


REVIEW EXCERPT(S)

“Lunch Lady ... brilliant solution to the problem. And Betty ... your gadgets are seriously cool!”


– Goodreads



“Clever, for boys and girls of all ages, and full of "gifty nadgets," it's great to see the poor, ignored

lunch ladies get a starring role at last.”


– Mama Librarian review



“Wacky graphic novel series serves justice with sloppy joes.”


– Common Sense Media review




CONNECTIONS

“I'm a speech-language pathologist who works with middle schoolers. This series of books has been

an AWESOME resource for my virtual language therapy sessions. The books are action-packed with

simple dialogue that can be adapted to a wide range of language levels. I'm soooooo pleased with

this series!”

    I didn't realize how much I enjoy reading graphic novels until I opened up the Lunch Lady. I read the Lunch Lady and the Mutant Mathletes and it was pretty comical.
