Comics Squad #2: Lunch!: (A Graphic Novel)

You will never look at school lunch again after reading this short stories. Whether it's an allergic reaction involving hallucinating classmates as food, or a World War II story about potatoes as weapons, Krosoczka and the Holms working with other talented graphic novelists have created another winning collection for young readers. My personal favorites were Lunch Lady as a girl facing off with a bully (hurrah for a bully story where the adults aren't missing in action!) and Snoopy in charge of the cafeteria (laughed my head off). There really is something here for everyone. Anyone who has experienced school lunch should get a kick out of these wildly unrealistic but thoroughly entertaining stories. There is even one story written as a choose your own adventure type (you have to follow the arrows) with multiple endings. A great addition to most graphic novel collections, but only if you want to hear children laughing.

Great book

Great for a young reader!

These Comic Squad books are a perfect introduction to graphic novels. This is the second one we have purchased and all of my children love them. I found it was also a great tool for a struggling reader as it provided motivation to keep going.

Funny and very well done 2-color format. Planning to use it for inspiration while teaching elementary schools comic book art.
