About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts expressing anxiety about school routines or complaining about the weirdness of the cafeteria. It is the perfect tool for a reluctant reader who prefers gross-out humor and high-stakes action over quiet dramas. Through the lens of a supernatural mystery, the story transforms common school-day stressors into a manageable, hilarious adventure. The plot follows best friends Carlos and Benny as they investigate their school lunch ladies, who have traded their usual kindness for grumpy attitudes and a strange new menu. While the book is packed with bug-themed monsters and slapstick comedy, it also subtly addresses themes of teamwork, bravery, and the importance of looking beneath the surface. It is a lighthearted, fast-paced read for elementary students who enjoy a blend of fantasy and everyday school life.
