COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Books as weapons? submitted by camelsamba on July 8, 2011, 9:30pm (this review was originally written for goodreads, where a bunch of people were annoyed about the librarian character)

Finally! A book series that dismantles the common stereotypes of lunch ladies (except maybe those that would prefer to be called "cafeteria workers") as mean, horrid, child-hating purveyors of slop and doom. (Although gravy on pizza? Gravy on french fries? I hate gravy. Something must be done about that part.) Of course, pretty much every other adult in the school ends up in their stereotypical role (except the math teacher - would a math teacher really be in the running for most popular teacher? Okay, maybe Dr. Archer in my high school days. And Mrs Bazell, our 9th grade math teacher. She was pretty awesome. But in general? And besides, that was a plot device in The Cyborg Substitute, not this book, so I shouldn't mention it in this review).

What I don't like is how BOOKS are made out to be WEAPONS, instruments of doom and evil. How come no other reviewer has commented on that? Sure, books are powerful and mind-changing, but they're not out to eat you up. And the lion in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe certainly wouldn't be out to get you, unless maybe you were one of the White Witch's minions.

By the way, Lunch Lady and her sidekick inventor remind me of the two characters in Pajama Sam: Thunder and Lightning Aren't So Frightening. Oops, that's a video game. The League are going to come after me...

Back to the book at hand: This felt more fragmented and underdeveloped than Cyborg Substitute, but my boys still loved it. My favorite piece in both books comes in Book 1, where you see the principal on the phone with a parent, saying "Your dog needs to stop eating homework." Book 3 has been requested via inter-library loan, and I will be asked many times a day until it arrives, "did you get the book yet?"

7yo son liked submitted by lulumama on June 17, 2014, 4:30pm My 7yo boy enjoyed this series. Thought it was funny.

Good read for younger kids submitted by raymondkangasjr on June 20, 2014, 7:19am My 2st grader really enjoys this series. It is fun to see that a lunch lady is the hero in these books. My son is often giggling while reading these books and ihe is always excited to read the funny parts to me.
