Lunch Lady And The Summer Camp Shakedown (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
In this graphic novel, a group of kids go to summer camp, where their school lunch lady happens to be working. They are all looking forward to relaxing and enjoying camp. However, when a mysterious swamp monster is spotted, Lunch Lady and the kids do their best to figure out the truth. This story is fun, easy-to-follow, and perfect for young readers. It is well written, and has a clear mystery with a great resolution, which kids would love trying to figure out. The characters were not really developed, but the book was too short for that, and as it is meant for children around 7 years old, I think the characters were fine the way they were. This book also has great, fun illustrations. They accompany the text perfectly, and some of the pictures stand alone, telling the story without the use of words. The story is not realistic, but it isn't meant to be, and it has just the right amount of silliness. I thought this was a really fun book. It has an easy-to-follow mystery, which is great for young readers. I also think it's a perfect book for hesitant readers, since it relies on the pictures just as much as it does on the text. The book is really silly, especially when it comes to Lunch Lady's tools; taco-vision night goggles, hamburger headphones, a cookie camera, and more. The silliness would definitely appeal to kids who think reading is boring. I would recommend this book to kids who like mysteries, silly stories, or comic books. i loved this book because it is very funny and mysterios oh and it is also cool because the lunch lady and her sidekick Betty at her side and theres also a lake monster it not just about the lunch lady and her sidekick. there are also 3 kids 2 of them are boys amd 1 is a girl i finished the book now i am reading lunch lady and the author visit vendita theas books make me laugh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha they also have gagets bettyy comes up with them 1 of there inventions is the taco night vition gogels the 3 kids names are HECTER,TERENNSE AND THE GIRLS NAME I DONT KNOW this is a realy good book i think you should read this book it will make you laugh very hard ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha so yup see you guys later :) :P :):O :D ;)

Cute, though the "girls all want the cute boys" was a bit overdone.
