Lunch Lady and the Video Game Villain: Lunch Lady #9

I've been passing 'Lunch Lady's around the 3rd and 4th grade at my school this year and they've been hugely popular. They're quickly paced, funny, and unique - they've been popular with my heaviest readers all the way to my most reluctant.Consider "the Video Game Villain" a treat for the kids who enjoy the series the most. For the most part, the series has been a 'Baddie of the Week' collection - a new threat to the school appears, hijinks ensue (and they are fun hijinks!), and in the end the baddie is put away. A nod to the next story is usually included, but otherwise each story sits by itself. All questions answered.Over time, the universe for the school has gotten richer, with extra students and new faculty premiering and then becoming regulars in the next issues. It has been fun watching the school grow larger and larger, even if the new characters don't do all that much. That might be changing now...There are a few unexpected surprises that pop up in this book, and Krosoczka doesn't answer them. Characters return who were thought to be finished. The ending was a shock. The "Video Game Villain" sent me running right back to the previous books to guess what might happen, and it's already gained approval from the two students I slipped it to today.The story itself is similar to the previous eight; Lunch Lady takes on a new threat. In the other story, Hector runs against Milmoe for Student Body President. It's the touches outside the main stories that make this issue so exciting - the next volume is scheduled for December and that's just so far away!

This was bought at the request of my 9 year old granddaughter when she could not find it in the school library.She enjoyed the whole story. I enjoyed hearing her tell me about.

Sometimes timid, video game loving Hector gets his turn to shine when he runs for class president against the bully Milmoe in this ninth Lunch Lady graphic novel adventure. I have every book in this funny series because they are loved by the students I tutor, and the truth is they delight me just as much. They are great for enticing children who are struggling with reading to spend more time on the page and they foster a love of books--always a good thing, but especially so for students who will benefit from improving their reading skills. They are not easy readers with a limited vocabulary but that is a plus, and I use them with students from first through seventh grade. Every page has text on lively comic book style pictures in shades of yellow, black and gray. There are strong female characters, crazy cool gadgets, crime solving lunchroom ladies, and three best friends--one girl, two boys--who help solve every mystery. Maybe best of all, the ending of this ninth book makes it obvious there will be a tenth outing for the Lunch Lady and her gang.

My 7 yo (and his 4 yo brother for that matter) loves this whole series! Graphic novels have been the best bet for getting him more interested in reading, but Lunch Lady has been transformative! They are completely unrealistic but hilarious humor about this super heroine lunch lady...for my boy, none of these books could be any better. This book is the latest and my kids couldn't be more excited Santa brought it! Woo-hoo!

My boys’ favorite books - 5 and 7 year old. My 7 year old reads them on his own but my five year old finds them fun and entertaining when I read them. We bought all 10 after we fell in love with them.

Hector runs for class president and the rest of the Breakfast Bunch assist him. Meanwhile electronics at school are disappearing like crazy. Hopefully Lunch Lady can save the day!
