"The Lunch Witch" Will Have You Looking at Your Lunch Ladies in a Whole New Light.

http://bit.ly/1CgBctt
For generations and generations, the women of Grunhilda's family have stirred up trouble in a big, black pot. Grunhilda inherits her famous ancestors' recipes and cauldron, but no one believes in magic anymore. 

Despite the fact that Grunhilda's only useful skill is cooking up potfuls of foul brew, she finds a job listing that might suit her: lunch lady. She delights in scaring the kids until she meets a timid little girl named Madison with a big set of glasses who becomes an unlikely friend. Madison needs help at school and at home, but helping people goes against everything Grunhilda's believes in as a witch! Will this girl be able to thaw the Lunch Witch's icy heart? Or will Grunhilda turn her back on a kindred spirit?

The Lunch Witch is one of those graphic novels that works great for readers of all ages. It would go so well with a unit on fairy tales, as a kind of epilogue--what happens to the wicked witch when everyone else lives happily ever after? Fairy tales, and re-tellings of fairy tales, are experiencing a a renaissance in media and in the classroom these days, so teachers and parents, jump on this!

Slightly wicked, slightly gross, terrifically funny and surprising — I loved The Lunch Witch, especially the mosquitoes and the raspberry! Only one problem. Now I have to buy more, for presents!
