Pretty cheesy book. Sometimes that works, but here not really. The writing was well done for the young age group, and the character realistic enough as a snarky young boy. Using the school and cafeteria works to play up kids and their thoughts of school lunches and cafeteria ladies. Pacing was pretty quick and kept everything happening well enough. Kids without a lower attention span would get a kick out of that. The story is amazingly out there, predictable (to me, but maybe not a younger age group), and the ending is a rushed events, which again doesn't work well for my age group but may with the young ones.

This was a really good, scary book. Although the food was great it wasn't great with bugs in it. Fiztz and Lexi stopped the evil lunch lady. -JG ( )
