The Breakfast Bunch gets punished for skipping the field trip by being forced to join the Mathlete’s Club. They are humiliated! Who wants to voluntarily stay after school to do math of all things! When their school makes it to the championship to defeat the undefeated Willowby Academy, mathlete’s leader Mr. O’Connell asks lunch lady what he can do to get the students excited.

Lunch Lady and the Mutant Mathletes by Jarrett Krosoczka is a witty graphic novel about some pretty special lunch ladies. Terrance, Dee, and Hector are required to join the mathletes as punishment for skipping the museum tour. The three students are very reluctant about joining. They knew it was not considered cool to be a mathlete. After seeing how happy Mr. O'Connell get when they win, the three decide they have to try to win the math bowl. There is something strange about their opponents from...more

I think I'm getting addicted to this series--either that or I'm reverting to my fourth grade self. In this, the seventh installment of the Lunch Lady series, the Breakfast Bunch (Dee, Hector, and Terrence)must join the extracurricular Mathletes as their punishment for missing the museum field trip. Although they are definitely not thrilled to spend time after school solving math problems, it turns out to be less painful than they had expected. Even Dee comes around once the kids from Willoughby...more

This is one of 7 graphic novels in the "Lunch Lady" series. In this particular book, 3 students are forced to join the Mathletes as punishment for skipping out on a previous school function. They are incredibly unhappy about the ordeal at first, but progressively learn to enjoy their participation. Things are going well...and they're winning! But something seems 'off' about the other team that made it to the finals. This is where the lunch lady steps in and saves the day. She uses her master det...more

I found this book to be a very clever graphic novel. Who doesn't fall in love with a book about some lunch ladies who save the day. Everyone always pictures their lunch ladies being something else and this is perfect. These 3 children get in trouble and their punishment is to join the after school mathletes club. However when they compete in the mathlete bowl the lunch lady gets suspicious about the other team. The adventure they go through is great and such an easy read. Of course the lunch lad...more

The Breakfast Bunch along with the loveable lunch ladies of Thompson Brook school return with another unbelieveable adventure! Principal Hernandez asks Dee, Hector, and T to join the Mathletes. Reluctantly, they follow the principal's request and discover a local school rivalry.

I always look forward to Krosoczka's Lunch Lady books. The Lunch Lady is encouraging with the students at school. She also unveils new and hilarious weaponry to save the Breakfast Bunch. For followers of the Babymouse ser...more

Another installment in the Lunch Lady Series. A bit far fetched, even for Lunch Lady fans. The Boston accent on the "custodian," wasn't funny, in fact it was a bit disrespectful. The fact that the characters didn't want to be on the "math team," because it was just for nerds was also disappointing. Perhaps I missed the author's point here. Being on a math team is very cool, and I think Krosoczka tried to make that point at the end, but by that point I had lost interest in the story. Hopefully th...more

"Addison seems like an ordinary math teacher- his breath smells like coffee, his nose hairs are long." This book made me laugh out loud in addition (get it, Mathletes?) to being thankful that I am a librarian and not a math teacher. And can I say how jealous I am of Lunch Lady having such a supportive side kick like Betty. Could I have Betty help me in the library? "Oh Watermelons!" Guess she already has a job. What can I say? The book is great and my students cannot get enough of Lunch Lady. Th...more

I thought that this was a pretty good book. It was very funny that is a given. It is about how 3 kids get in trouble, and have to join a team called the Mathletes. At the beggining they didn't care about thier team winning.But then they meat a team that they hated, and they needed to beat. If you want to know what hapens next you have to read the book.

The Breakfast Bunch has to join the Mathletes as punishment for "disappearing" on the school field trip. They face off in the championships with a school that never loses, but beware the students may not be human.

This latest installment in the series is chocked full of math and I think readers will eat it up! Recommended for boys and girls grades 3-5.
Wendy
The Lunch Lady has done it again! I think I enjoy this one even more than the others because the kids are victorious in their own right by teaming up and showing how smart they are in math. Krosoczka is clever with all of the math puns and problems he sneaks into the storyline, maybe kids will be solving the problems along with the breakfast bunch!
Maria
This was fun! Lots of silly, zany fun. How can you beat that?

Yes, I was concerned at first by the fact that being a "mathlete" was a punishment for the main characters. The crew discovered that the math competition was fun, though, and that made all the difference for me.
Kellee
Lunch Lady and the Breakfast Bunch save the day again in this Lunch Lady adventure, but this time- it is something from out of this world that is threatening. How will they succeed this time?
Oh! And has a bit of math in it too- great cross-curricular book.
Greg
Maybe it's not a good idea to start with the seventh book in the series (I'm sure I missed a ton of inside jokes), but still a fun read. I like how they stand up for public schools even with the bad powder eggs and boring math homework.
Angie
Funny, as always. Full of great gadgets and silly comebacks.

Only, come on. One of the math problems discusses a library that checks out 20 books a day. 20 books a day? Try 20 books an hour. On a slow day.

I love Lunch Lady!
This one is great...mathletes, trusty sidekicks, and some great drawings!
You will love it.

Haiku Review:

Math questions are easy
but something is not right here.
We are on the case!
Michael
Even Lunch Lady and the Breakfast Bunch aren't enough to stop the superhuman mathletes of Willowby Academy. Could there be another secret superhero at Thompson Brook Elementary School?
NancyJo Lambert
Another great installment to this amazingly fun and hilarious graphic novel series. My fans of this series will love this one as well!
Jennifer

Lunch lady takes on a few mutant mathletes. Wait. Aren't they all mutants? Hijinks and fun abound.

This may be my favorite Lunch Lady, yet. My students and I love this series!

Pretty fun, but I wanted more Lunch Lady and less of the supporting characters.
