Fizzy's Lunch Lab: Escape from Greasy World
Now that Fast Food Freddy has Professor Fizzy in his clutches, can the Lunch Lab kids rescue him from Greasy World?
Oh, no! Henry and Avril have just discovered that Professor Fizzy is missing from the Lunch Lab. And so is the rest of the crew, even the Freezer Burn Band. It can only be the work of their archnemesis, Fast Food Freddy, who is holding his rivals captive at Greasy World, the unhealthiest theme park on the planet. The trouble is, Henry and Avril find that they have to ace a bunch of Greasy World challenges in order to free their friends from Freddy and his Grease-bots. Can everything Henry and Avril know about healthy food help them win carnival games that are rigged in favor of junk food?

This book is about two kids who save their greasy friends from the greasy theme park. My favorite part in the book was when Henry said “Hasta la pasta”. I liked that part because that was kind of a funny phrase. The main characters are Henry and Avril who saved their greasy friends. This is a picture and fiction book. The illustrations told more than the words. I liked the book because it was funny. The good thing about the book was it teaches kids not to eat too many junk foods. This book made me laugh when Greasy-Bot said you will never win that game. I felt as if I was with the main characters when they were saving Mixie Bot. kids who like robots who like being healthy will love this book.
I also like this book when Corporal cup rose up in the air and somersaulted to the ground. Corporal cup is a measuring cup that practices karate. I liked that part because she somersaulted and landed perfectly on the ground just like a real ninja. The illustrations helped by showing what the story was telling the reader. The book would have been even better if the author wrote when Mixie bot came after she recharged. Mixie bot is a flying robot. I felt as if I was in the book. People who eat healthy stuff will like this book.

Corporate Author. Escape from Greasy World (a Fizzy’s Lunch Story) Candlewick, 2015 $14.99 EARLY READER/
Henry and Avril must go to Greasy World and try to rescue Professor Fizzy and his crew. They think that Fast Food Freddy is to blame. They are not thrilled to go to Greasy World, but must. Its like a theme park for junk food. There they face challenge after challenge and must change their healthy food thinking into unhealthy choice if they want to win.
Wow. I haven’t heard of this show and its positively sad how far we must take healthy eating education. This book and its story kind of jumps in as though the reader knows a lot about the show and its just too weird for me. I may ask some students if they like the show and get a better gauge on its popularity. The illustrations are bright and eye catching.

Escape from Greasy World is part of the Fizzy's Lunch Lab series on PBS Kids. Though there are concepts to get from the book, such as the perils of living in Greasy World, the words used in the book are large and hard to read for the grade level the book is intended for. Story itself is okay.

Kind of weird. Not sure if it's based on a PBS kids show. Had a few random facts about healthy eating but didn't push it too hard.
