About the Book
Zack’s school lunches are always packed full of surprises. Usually—gulp—not good surprises.
On Monday, his mom’s brain-boosting lunch makes his face turn green. On Tuesday, his dad’s body-boosting lunch gets him into trouble. On Wednesday, his grandmother’s selection is extravagant—and noisy. On Thursday, his big sister’s offering is just what she thinks her baby brother deserves. And on Friday, his meal is fit for a boy’s best friend.
Sometimes shocking, often cringe-worthy, and always hilarious, Zack’s school lunches are the talk of the classroom. To save his reputation, Zack will have to take lunch matters into his own hands.
