I decided to read my first graphic novel this week. I have heard that graphic novels are sometimes hard to read, so I wanted to find an easy one to read this week. The Lunch Lady series is a great one for beginning readers in this genre. You don't have to worry about colors meaning different things or flashbacks. It was a cute novel and I really enjoyed it!
The novel opens with the students very excited about a famous author coming to their school. They all have brought books for him to sign. The author arrives and he is very snobby. He won't eat the cookies the lunch lady made for him and he won't sign a book that one of the students brought because it has a small tear on the cover. After the author leaves the lunch lady notices the gym teacher can't be found. She goes to his house and discovers he has disappeared. With her side kick they discover that every school that the author visits the gym teacher disappears. The lunch lady decided to go rescue the gym teachers and takes along her secret weapons including her Fancy Ketchup Packet Laser. The story goes on to show that the author was bullied by his gym teacher so he kidnaps all the gym teachers and hypnotizes them to be his servants. The Lunch Lady saves the day and rescues all the gym teachers.
This is a cute story and I really enjoyed reading it. I loved all the Lunch Lady's secret weapons which were made from things you would find in a school cafeteria. I can see why so many students are enjoying reading graphic novels. I'm sure I would find others difficult to read, but this one was very easy to read and would be great for someone reading their first graphic novel.
