review:
'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.
