Lunch Lady

Krocoszka, J. Lunch lady and the author visit vendetta.   NY:  Random House.

Dee, Terrance, and Hector are excited because the author Lewis Scribson is visiting their school today.   Hector is a huge fan of the Flippy Bunny Books.  When they author gets there Coach Birkby introduces himself and the lunch lady brings him cookies.  He acts very strangely and even refuses to sign Hector’s book because it is torn.  After the author leaves, Terrance has soccer try-outs, but Coach Birkby doesn’t show up.  The lunch lady starts investigating and discovers that all the schools he has visited have coaches that have disappeared, so they decide to go to Mr. Scribson’s house.   Dee tells Hector that she is going to make him sign his book, so they decide to go to the author’s house as well.   There the lunch lady discovers that all the coaches that disappeared have been hypnotized to be servants.  The kids notice that as well.  They decide to make stinky sock balls and throw them at the coaches to reverse the hypnotism.  At the end, they capture him and make him sign the book. Terrance makes the soccer team and is the star.  This is a picture book that uses a comic style format.  The illustrations are drawn with ink on paper and digital coloring to make the text come alive in the readers mind.  The illustrations also help develop the plot of the story.   The following website offers some fun interactive activities students may enjoy: http://www.randomhousekids.com/brand/lunch-lady/activities/.
