While not 100% clean there is little to be concerned about here, especially considering what is placed in most “graphic novels” that are targeting younger readers today. --- There are few less desirable terms we wouldn’t want our kiddos repeating: doofus, gone mental, flirting in the teachers lounge, lunch losers, troubled individuals, “they probably lead very boring lives”, “and nobody loves him”. These are often from a bully or bad guy, but unfortunately there are a couple places where one of the “good” main characters are responsible (e.g., “What’s wrong Milmoe? Saving up to buy a life?”). This is meant to be a part of being courageous, but it instead comes across as really being no better than the bully they are talking to. This can be a great example and discussion to share with your child. --- There are armed, masked robbers and bullies shown that may not be something for the very youngest readers, but it is all handled very lightly.

Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute
VERDICT: Recommended
Concern Level: Low
Christian Parent Review
A “lunch lady” who is actually a secret crime fighter? This first book looks to be the start of a relatively safe offering in the easy to read, humorous, graphic novel category. This title may be an option in place of some of the other series in this genre (some of which we have reviewed on this site) that proved to be a start to end negative content reel. This is light, short, fun and mostly clean.

Use with caution
Serving justice . . . and lunch! Hector, Terrence, and Dee have always wondered about their school lunch lady. What does she do when she isn’t dishing out the daily special? Where does she live? Does she have a lot of cats at home? Little do they know, Lunch Lady doesn’t just serve sloppy joes—she serves justice! Whatever danger lies ahead, it’s no match for LUNCH LADY!

Purchase Book Convenience LinkScripture Reflection
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 'I have the right to do anything,' you say—but not everything is beneficial. 'I have the right to do anything'—but I will not be mastered by anything.
