review 1: This book made me SOOOOO angry. And that's rare for a juvenile book, let alone a juvenile graphic novel. I really enjoyed the first Lunch Lady book and was hoping that this one would be as funny and entertaining, but it quickly fell flat when I learned just what the League of Librarians was planning. Their whole scheme was to destroy all videogames to encourage reading.As a librarian who is a staunch advocate for gaming, this not only pissed me off, but really disappointed me. There was an opportunity here to join the love of gaming with reading, but who finally introduces it here? The lunch lady! Boo.Librarians were depicted as rude and egotistical, only suggesting books they felt were worthy, rather than those that interested their students, and I just found it a r... moreude and sassy caricature of my profession.Aside from the harsh jabs towards my industry, I will also say that the backstory and even lunch lady gadgets fell flat in this issue.
review 2: Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians by Jarret J. Krosoczka is a cute and easy read for grades two through four. The staff in the library is mean and insensitive to the children of the school. The students suspect something is going on when they see all the library staff plotting together one day. The students involve the lunch lady when they discover the staff is trying to take away all the video games. The lunch lady saves the day.I prefer this to the Babymouse book. I don’t think this has the dark undertones that some graphic novels or comic superhero stories have. The message here is funny and silly. I think it’s a great way to encourage those hard to please readers. less
