The Lunch Witch #1
The Lunch Witch #1 | Deb Lucke
17 posts | 19 read | 52 to read
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 story itself isn‘t anything new (Grunhilda is supposed to be a mean old witch, but she‘s bad at being a witch - & she‘s especially bad at being mean. It‘s a common device: take a stereotype & flip it) - but I really enjoyed the art & the characters. The muted, dingy colors are punctuated every now & again by a single bright splash (like the candy pink of a blown bubblegum bubble). I chuckled/snorted quite a bit. I‘d read another volume.

Did somebody say OCTOBER? 🎃💀

Last month, I had to read a graphic novel for the book club at work . This was a quick, cute and fun read.

Looking forward to this months anything spooky/creepy/suspenseful theme. Duh, we cheated and didn't even pull a genre out a box like usual.

SilversReviews Love it. 7y

I'm pretty sure this is Litsy's fault, but I'm not sure. I have no idea why wanted to read this. But suddenly it was there, waiting for me at he library. We may never know. But it sure looks fun!

WanderingBookaneer The second part is good too! 8y
okthislooksbad @BookishMarginalia @WanderingBookaneer I might know who's to blame then! There's a second part?! Such desire. Very need. 8y

This book looks dreary but it is laugh aloud funny. Pick it up if you see it at your local comic book shop! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Weird & wacky, creepy & creative. Dark humor. This is marketed as #1, so I'm hoping there will be more...

Liberty I loved this book. 9y
Caryl @Liberty It was so unique, wasn't it? I felt like it nicely stretched the graphic novel form for kids. 9y

Read this at lunch. I adored it! It's about an unemployed witch who takes a job as a cafeteria worker. Really looking forward to the sequel.
