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.

“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.”

– 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!”

Lunch Lady series, Book 2
I highly recommend this fun, humorous graphic novel and could be read-aloud as well.
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.
