BIBLIOGRAPHY
Krosockza, Jarret. 2009. LUNCH LADY AND THE LEAGUE OF LIBRAIANS. NY:Alfred A Knopf. ISBN 0375946844
PLOT SUMMARY
This graphic novel is the 2nd in the “Lunch Lady” series. A group of students called the “Breakfast Bunch” learns of an evil plot by the librarians to rid the world of all video games. They team up with Lunch Lady and Betty to defeat the librarians and use the video games to encourage reading.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Krosockza has written a graphic novel that will appeal to older elementary school students. This book is fast paced and easy to read. Younger students will relate to the theme of this book that good can overcome evil. The fantasy in this story is not too far out there to lose students. The librarians use characters from the books as weapons; the Lunch Lady uses her Lasso of Linguini to attack the league of librarians. The settings of the library and cafeteria will help students identify with the setting of the story.
The pen and ink illustrations add energy to the book. The illustrations are great, especially towards the end of the book when the characters are coming out of the book to attack the Lunch Lady.
This book does not do much to change the stereotype of librarians. Students often do not have a positive attitude about librarians and this book paints librarians in a negative light.
REVIEW EXCERPTS
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "With its appealing mix of action and humor, this clever, entertaining addition to the series should have wide appeal.”
