Lunch Lady and the Summer Camp Shakedown: Lunch Lady #4

The Breakfast Bunch is headed off to summer camp and wouldn’t you know so is are the lunch ladies! Every camp has a legend, but when there’s come to life it’s up to them to prove it real or fake.

Kids will like the book so get the Lunch Lady series of ten books and save time. We need a second series to keep the kids reading and happy.

Just got my copy of Lunch Lady and the Summer camp shakedown and immediately tore through it. Comic books are meant to transport you to this other world where the regular rules don't apply and Jarrett Krosoczka is quickly becoming a master of the genre. In the fourth installment of the series, Lunch lady and her regular band of students trade in the schoolhouse for the summer camp. There is a hilarious moment when all of the summer camp counselors are introduced and it is explained how they are all into each other. Now I used to work at a summer camp and let me tell you Krosoczka hit it right on the head. I mean I feel like I personally know some of the counselors in this book. The ending is great as well with a slight head nod to classic Scooby Doo stories. I highly recommend this book to people of all ages, from the 10 year old on his or her way to summer camp for the first time to the old time counselor with a sore back from too many piggy back rides.Oh and the bully is hilarious and probably in need of a spinoff.

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!

My 8 year old will spend hours reading these. Just graphic enough to keep his interest, but also a great way to sneak in reading practice

This was a first book of summer surprise when school was out and not only did he read the whole book and LOVE it but then did a web search to find if there were any others in the series! He was so excited to find out there were four others so off we went to the library where he got the other four and devoured them as well! He can not wait for the new one in September to arrive! (Yes I promised to pre-order it!) As far as I'm concerned, any book that can capture the heart of a 3rd grade boy like this is a great book indeed!

I like the concept. The series levels at 2nd grade. I like the high interest comic style. Not nearly as humorous as the Babymouse and Squish series by Holms. The humor is just not there. These are a popular read at the school library but I found little interest in my class library. I bought a handful in this series and I'm not too impressed. Has an interest level up to 5th grade though and great for struggling older struggling readers who are affected often by only have reading material options at younger levels which can effect self esteem. Read it with your child then donate to a classroom or your school library. You'll be giving a gift that keeps giving after your child is done reading it. Give it a try and if it doesn't interest your child, try Babymouse or Squish series. Your child may enjoy this series.

Nice new books! Great quality!
