Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-5 Fun and funny. Brave Lunch Lady her reliable sidekick, Betty and those inquisitive kids Hector, Dee, and Terrence move the mystery and adventure to the road as they take on the slimy swamp monster that's been terrifying Camp Fun Times. There are plenty of suspects as the kids get to know their counselors, but Lunch Lady and Betty are ready for anything with new gadgets like an Underwater Bendy-Straw Breathing Apparatus and an Underwater Mixer-Propulsion Backpack. The two-color art is loopy and energetic, with varied, easy-to-follow page layouts. Jokes and puns are sprinkled throughout to keep the energy high until the exciting finale.

From Booklist

Elementary-schoolers Dee, Hector, and Terrence go to a sleepaway camp where the supersleuth Lunch Lady from their school happens to be working her off-season. At camp, the prepubescent boys and girls behave with developmentally appropriate lapses in social niceties: the boys crack jokes about farts, while Dee really doesn’t get why the other girls have crushes on the cute male counselors. Lunch Lady and her assistant, meanwhile, utilize imaginative foodie tech to battle the mysterious Scum Monster, including Taco-vision night goggles worn to their Salisbury stakeout. Krosoczka’s inventive visual details, spot-on characterizations, and grade-school humor make this a standout graphic-novel series. Grades 3-5. --Francisca Goldsmith

5.0 out of 5 stars A winner for our 8 yo!, November 16, 2010

This review is from: Lunch Lady and the Summer Camp Shakedown (Paperback)
Our 8 yo daughter is a reluctant reader despite many attempts to get her interested in other books. She asked for this book at her school book fair yesterday and read half the book on her own last night-laughing out loud. She was even reading it on her way down the stairs to breakfast and I had to ask her to put it down to eat!! Her enthusiasm has prompted me now to order other books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivates dyslexic and reluctant readers, July 15, 2010

This review is from: Lunch Lady and the Summer Camp Shakedown (Paperback)
As a reading tutor I am always looking for high interest books for my dyslexic students. This series of books is perfect--it's funny and has a lot of lively pictures of the cafeteria Lunch Lady saving the day, plus the words used are a good mix of mainly easy and with some challenging ones thrown in too. I have a very smart eleven year old student who can only read at the first or early second grade level and he loves this book. It takes him a long time, but not only can he read almost all of it himself, I have to take the book out of his hands at the end of our session because he is completely engrossed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Young Readers Interested in Reading, October 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lunch Lady and the Summer Camp Shakedown (Paperback)
Reading isn't just about school and I have 4 great nieces and nephews that I really hoped would love reading. Two of them don't; the Lunch Lady was part of my plan to entice them to read and...it worked! The fact that it looks like comic strips was an immediate win; the story was fun and interesting. I kept the books at my house and they didn't finish the one they were reading in the first visit. The true test of whether the books were worth it was the kids reaction when they returned for the second visit; they picked up the book they were reading and finished them! No school work; no book report...just fun! I'll be adding more of these books for future visits and also start sneaking in some regular books too. Thanks Lunch Lady...You Rock!
