BIBLIOGRAPHY
Krosoczka, Jarrett. (2009). LUNCH LADY AND THE LEAGUE OF LIBRARIANS. New York
PLOT SUMMARY
The school librarians are being especially nasty to the students and are obviously trying to hide a secret. Lunch Lady and her side kick Betty are determined to put a stop to whatever evil plan the librarians have in store. A pack of students who call themselves The Breakfast Bunch are also in on the action. Once Lunch Lady discovers the evil plot, she is able to take down the librarians with an arsenal of kitchen gadgets.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
This lunch room lady with special gadgets that give her super hero powers will certainly have kids looking at their cafeteria staff in a new light. This graphic novel set in a school is a witty twist on classic comic book heroes and villains. Adults may cringe as Lunch Lady and her assistant Betty challenge the League of Librarians as they try to take out a shipment of video games (because what’s so wrong with that right?). However, the compromise lunch lady provides will please both students and adults. A must read for students that enjoy graphic novels and those reluctant readers who need a fun, easy read.
REVIEW EXERPT
School Library Journal (September 01, 2009)- “With its appealing mix of action and humor, this clever, entertaining addition to the series should have wide appeal.”
CONNECTIONS
- Have a fun day in the library where students can read and play video games like the end of the book.
- Have students draw a comic about a school adventure.
