Lunch witch is great for fans of MIss Nelson is missing and other slightly macabre kids books that make you laugh. I feel connected to the lunch with aand always find myself choosing this series as one to pick for kids that enjoy graphic novels.

'Lunch Witch #2: Knee-Deep in Niceness' by Deb Lucke continues a story that I really liked even though I didn't read the first volume.

Grunhilda the Witch works at Salem Elementary school in the lunchroom. She starts getting letters from an ex-student, and it starts to change her into a nicer person. Her dog, Mr. Williams, decides to take drastic measures and use her forbidden spellbook. It has the opposite effect and not only makes Grunhilda nice, but the entire town of Salem. With the help of a boy scout desperate for merit badges, can Mr. Williams set things back to their gloomy normal?

I really liked this odd little graphic novel. The whole thing is presented on brown, stained paper and the color stays mainly in the dull browns and greens. I loved the boy scout and his inept attempts to help. I liked Grunhilda's odd assortment of pets, and her angry ancestors banging on her floor from down below. Grunhilda is a fun, grouchy character and I'm sure I had her as a lunch lady at my school.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Grunhilda is back and still seems to have her weakness - weakness of being nice. Grunhilda is a witch and her ancestors expect her to be mean. Now with Madison gone, Grunhilda decides to be mean again. Yet, she ends up writing a letter to Madison, and her pets find it. To steer her off the wrath of her ancestors, one of the pets decides to cast an evil potion. Instead they unleash a positivity potion that Grunhilda now has to correct.

In the first book I found Madison and Grunhilda endearing and liked their chemistry. I liked the story in this one too but wasn't the same without Madison. I do recommend these books to children and adults.

When I requested this I didn't realize it was the second book in a series. So, I can't give my honest opinion on it considering how I didn't finish it.

I loved the first book on this series. I recommend this one as well!

The Lunch Witch is delightfully wicked, in a warm and fuzzy kind of way.
