Lunch Lady and the Bake Sale Bandit by Jarrett J. Krosoczka. The 5th book in the Lunch Lady graphic novel mystery series, recommended for readers aged 10 to 12. Lexile measure: N/A. Reviewed by a 6th grade student, who writes, "It's an action-packed story with a Lunch Lady twist. I especially love the "mirror broom" and "ketchup laser. ... The author did a great job with the plot of the story. It is very realistic, but still fun and silly." (Read the entire review.)

Reviewed by a 6th grade student, who writes, "Witches, mysteries, spying, and a K9 detective? That's right, a dog who can communicate!
