Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians

In this book, Lunch Lady fights a league of librarians who plan to get rid of all the new game systems by destroying them. The librarians come from different libraries. Some are from schools, and some are from public libraries. The librarians want to destroy all the new game systems so that no one will be able to play video games and the children will have to read instead. The librarians want to stop kids from playing the video games for reasons like "it's corrupting our children," "rotting their minds," and "enrollment in the Read-A-Thon is at an all-time low." Well, video games aren't always good for children, but they will stop when necessary. They also need to read more for better education, but I'm pretty sure a lot of them read. Children who enjoyed the first graphic novel //Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitutes// should read this second installment because it is even more entertaining and exciting. I just learned that they will make a movie out of this book and I am so thrilled that they are looking at Amy Poehler to be the main character. I can't wait to see her say Holy Guacamole and Great Tuna! //Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians// combines a battle of reading and playing video games. Read on to see which side wins!

fun graphic novel full of action & zany adventure (ages 7 - 10)

Action! Silliness! Pictures galore! It's no wonder that comic books and graphic novels are a big hit with kids. We've loved how authors artists are creating fun graphic stories for younger readers. This new series will find many fans among 1st through 3rd graders looking for a fun adventure in their comics. In this second book of the series, our secret crime-fighting duo takes on the evil schemes of the school librarians. Kids will love the plot, as the librarians try to destroy all video games and achieve world domination. The snazzy gadgets continue, with Taco-vision Night Goggles, Hover Pizzas and Sonic Boom Juice Boxes. I loved how the librarians unleashed creatures from stories to battle Lunch Lady and her gang. I especially liked how Krosoczka created an action-packed comic book with a goofiness that makes it perfect for this younger set. This doesn't have any of the dark undertones that some graphic novels or comic superhero stories have. This is not a book with a lot of character development, but I think its purpose is to hook readers and make them laugh. Want more great books? Come to [...]
