I'm a little late to the graphic novel party, but I'm glad I was finally introduced to this series!
Lunch Lady is an undercover super hero... what a disguise, who would think the lunch lady would be bringing criminals to justice?? With the other... ummm older lunch lady... as her sidekick!
In this first book, Lunch Lady needs to figure out who this new substitute is because he's looking a little suspicious!
Kids will love this graphic novel series. It's the perfect length for younger readers and the plot doesn't get lost in this type of format. I'm quickly getting to the rest of the books in this series!

The first in the Lunch Lady series, this one is GREAT! Reluctant readers, graphic novel fans, boys and girls (of all ages) will enjoy this. What's not to love? A lunch lady who secretly fights crime, using such gadgets as a helicopter spatula, spork communicator, and chicken nugget bombs? Robots posing as substitute teachers? A not-so-witty bully (and his sychophantic sidekick) who is put in his place? ALL good.

Lots of fun. You'll never look at your lunch lady the same way again, because she might just have Chicken Nugget bombs stashed away in her apron/cape!

Cauliflower! Why did I wait so long to pick these up? Simple spy stories make quick, funny reads. I love all the lunch lady's gadgets!

Thin story with an occasional humorous food/spy-related device. Atrocious artwork in hideous two-color panels.

Do you know what the Lunch Lady does when she's not serving sloppy joes? A few curious kids discover that their lunch lady not only cooks, she also fights crime.
8 year old boy thought this book was hilarious and can't wait to read the next one.
Good for ages 7 and up.
