Reading up a storm

Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians by Jarrett J. Krosoczka

When new juvenile graphic novel series come into our library, I like to read them just to see which kids will like them. The Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians is the second in the Lunch Lady graphic novel series for middle grade school readers (3rd, 4th and 5th graders). The artwork is three colors – yellow, black and white in the same sense as Babymouse being three colors.

The school librarian, high school media specialist and the public librarian are all set to take over the world. They want “world domination” and to stop the shipment of all of the newest gaming system.

Lunch Lady to the rescue. Of course, Lunch Lady and her accomplice get in over their heads and the kids come to save the day.

This is a silly book with the librarians as the bad guys and 3rd and 4th graders will find it funny. The humor wasn’t as smart for me as Babymouse.
