Tripping Over the Lunch Lady is a hilarious compilation of short stories from popular young adult authors. Sarah Weeks (whose novel So B. It I am currently reading and will be reviewing here shortly) presents a clever solution to writer's block in Experts, Incorporated. Using the graphic novel style, author James Proimos and illustrator David Fremont retell Proimos' monotonous days as a grade school student living with his heavily accented Italian grandmother in The Grade School Zone. Readers will especially love the interviews and author photos that accompany each story, proving that the authors dealt with lunch ladies and dreaded assignments themselves once upon a time. This is a great collection for reluctant readers or for family read-alouds.Mercado, N.E. (ed.). (2004). Tripping over the lunch lady and other school stories. New York: Penguin Group.
