Editorial Reviews

When a mystery bandit uses a blackout to steal all the baked goods from the school bake sale, it is up to cafeteria worker/superhero Lunch Lady to discover the guilty party. Could the culprit be Coach Birkby, the gym teacher with a sweet tooth? Mr. Kalowski the crotchety old janitor who hates sweeping up all the crumbs left over from the sale? As Lunch Lady (and her sidekick/inventing buddy Betty) closes in on the real thief, she will have to call on all her kitchen-themed gadgets to take down her enemy, who has got more than a few dangerous weapons of her own. Kroscozka infuses his usual subversive silliness in this latest installment to the "Lunch Lady" graphic novel series which manages to ridicule virtually every school employee (save Lunch Lady herself) for the unforgivable crime of keeping kids away from their beloved cupcakes and cookies. Fans will love it. Reviewer: Michael Jung, PhD
