Adorable. Hysterical. I love the Lunch Lady series. I love the gadgets Betty makes, like the Taco-vision Night Goggles and Sonic-Boom Juice Boxes. Lunch Lady is dedicated to fighting crime, but doesn't let that get in the way of her duties as a lunch lady.
One problem: It sort of made me sad that even in an adorable elementary level graphic novel the librarians are evil technology haters. Sigh. They're planning on destroying all the X-Station 5000s so people will have to read books. And then they'll take over the world. Like you do.
It takes Lunch Lady to put the two together and have an awesome Book Fair where students can also play the new X-Station 5000. Because all librarians are against gaming in the library. So again: sigh. I really like this series, and I don't even mind the librarians being made evil. I just wish they'd been made evil in some way not relating to hating technology, that's all.
On the plus side, the librarian's evil weapons were releasing "beasts" from various books - the three little pigs, the black stallion, the wolves from Call of the Wild, various characters from Alice in Wonderland and so forth. Awesome weapon.
But this is a GREAT series and I highly recommend it for your elementary grade students!
