Only a highly skilled cafeteria worker like the Lunch Lady could stop a criminal with a shot of macaroni and cheese. Elementary school students Dee, Hector, and Terrence are lucky she works in their cafeteria, because without her (and her side-kick Betty) their school would be a safe haven for villains who steal gym teachers, replace teachers with creepy cyborgs, and kidnap students to sabotage field trips.
This fifth book in Krosoczka’s graphic novel series contains more memorable characters (a bus driver who hates children and a health teacher who thinks sweets are evil), the latest Lunch Lady exclamations (“Jumping jelly!”), and an annoying new enemy for the Breakfast Bunch.
Fighting crime in the same yellow apron and rubber gloves she wears to dish out food, the Lunch Lady uses modified kitchen utensils and her inquisitive mind to keep her school safe - even from a transforming creature called Buszilla.
This is the series I would (and do) recommend to children ages seven to twelve who come into the library looking for a funny story to read.
