Book Review - Lunch Lady and the Author Vendetta

Lunch Lady and the Author Vendetta by Jarrett J. Krosoczka.  Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2009.
Review copy provided by my local library.

[from Goodreads]
Dee, Terrence, and Hector are very excited about Author Visit Day. Lewis Scribson is the author of the famous Flippy Bunny books, and Hector is a huge fan! And it gets Dee and Terrence out of math class.

But something is a little off about this special guest. And Coach Birkby, the gym teacher, mysteriously disappears the day of his visit.

What evil designs does this world-famous writer have on his agenda? Lunch Lady’s going to get to the bottom of it, even if she has to kick some bunny butt! 


I love the Lunch Lady.  These are the perfect books for reluctant readers.  I have been telling my boys who come to Mad Lab about them and they are always checked out.  Though I found the first two to be better than this third installment.  It is perfect for young readers looking for a fun book to just relax with.  I can't wait until the Lunch Lady heads off to summer camp!  Highly recommended for fans of graphic novels and reluctant readers.

It's so important to draw attention to reading, and attract reluctant readers to it,especially boys. In fact, I've recently completed a feature magazine article on this subject that came out in October, "Help for Struggling, Reluctant Readers."

I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much.

My blog, Books for Boys http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is dedicated to drawing attention to the importance of reading. And my new book, Lost Island Smugglers - first in the Sam Butler Adventure Series - is coming out in June.

Keep up your good work.
