Another great book in the Lunch Lady series. Fun, fact-paced with interesting spot color. The concept of a lunch lady super hero never gets old- I like the way the author incorporates other school jobs into the book, and all of the staff members are caring teachers.

Who's that guybrarian? Why, it's the famous John Shu! So thrilled to see the cameo appearance by one of my favorite librarians!! Krosoczka really nails the school environment in these books - greedy school picture companies? You bet!

Lunch Lady and her sidekick Betty are back for another adventure. This time around there is something fishy going on with the school picture day. Nearly every student shows up with major acne the day of pictures and the photographer is charging $15 each to airbrush the photos. She seems convinced that everyone is a natural in front of the camera and encourages many of the kids to bring in some money so that she can make up modeling portfolios for them. Betty and Lunch Lady have to use all their detective skills to find out what is really going on. At the final showdown, our heroes have to use the art of disguise to blend in as fashionistas - which is a very funny look for them.

Some of my favorite gadgets from this book include the fancy ketchup-packet laser, the mustard grappling hook, serving spoon crowbar, and chicken nugget bomb. It certainly makes you look at school lunches in a whole new way. You can always count on Lunch Lady to serve up lunch...and justice.

Who knew something as innocent as permission slips could be tinkered with! This was a fun read as usual.

Lunch Lady, book 8.

For fans of Captain Underpants who suspect that their school lunch lady just might be a secret superhero.

The horrors of school picture day are about to go next level.

A hilarious adventure story full of kick-butt kitchen/spy gadgets, food-related puns/exclamations, and daring characters who don't mind confronting fashion models to save the day.
