Lunch Lady 8: Lunch Lady And The Picture Day Peril (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I thought this book was very comical and one that children would enjoy. The story takes place around a school and the lunch lady and her assistant are crime fighting ladies. Along with three children seem to be the main characters. These books are series of books that encompass the same main characters, but different adventures/crime fighting adventures. I would have preferred to read the first book in the series, because to me it was hard to truly grasp who the characters were without some background knowledge. But overall it was a good story written as a graphic novel that is engaging to child readers. Within the classroom, I think students would prefer to pick up novels like this. The graphic novel allows for an easy quick read, while the pictures assist in providing a lot of information for the story, making it a good text to use for inferring. This book recommended me of Captain Underpants, though I haven’t read any, I am assuming that the Captain goes on many adventures throughout the different books. Graphic Novel- I thought this was a fun comic to read. It was a funny flash back to middle school and picture day cause I remember when I had zits and our pictures offered air brushing too. A funny spin on the whole picture day and everyone was getting zits because of the picture day sheet. It was cool to see an ordinary lunch lady turn into a super hero! She had sweet gadgets to help save the day, a ketchup laser lol! I was laughing while reading and looking at the pictures. I thought the illustrations did a great job of helping to tell the story. It was light and funny but still kept my attention.
