Description

When the school day begins, the lunch lady is already on the case—quietly noticing strange glitches in the classroom and the unsettling rise of “too-perfect” substitutes. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a sinister plan to replace beloved teachers with robots, putting students’ futures at risk and turning everyday lunchroom routines into a high-stakes mission. With humor, suspense, and action-packed twists, this story explores themes of courage, community, and the importance of looking out for one another. Written in Jarrett J. Krosoczka’s distinctive, kid-friendly style, it blends mystery and mayhem in a way that keeps readers turning pages to see what’s cooking next.
