Krosoczka, J. (2010). Lunch Lady and the league of librarians.New York: Albert A. Knopf.
Dee, Hector, and Terrance ( the Breakfast Bunch) are awaiting the book fair when they suspect foul play. The Librarian ( Mrs. Page) kicks everyone out of library as she heads to her League of Librarian meeting. Clues are left, bullies are threatening and the Lunch Lady squad is on the case. The League of Librarians are foiled in their devilish plot to destroy all the video games. After a cataclysmic battle the world is made safe for both books and video games. The text is filled with puns and super hero posturing. The plot is classic with evil villains and heroes coming to the rescue. The illustrations are hilarious and the action never flags. This low fantasy novel handles new age themes of the place of technology versus traditional acquisition of knowledge.
