Based on an Australian TV show, three short stories center on a group of students during lunch and snack time. Katz seems to be emulating the “Wimpy-Kid” craze, but I am not sure these kid’s antics will translate well to the American audience. Much of the humor was mean-spirited. I did not find it funny, although I can relate to the strict school rules that didn’t allow use of gluten, nuts, milk, or shellfish. Cartoonish illustrations throughout fit with the style of book but did not add much to the story. There is a list of the characters with illustrations at the front of the book to help distinguish among the many characters.
