Out to Lunch (Katie Kazoo Switcheroo #2) by Nancy E. Krulik

Katie Kazoo ate her lunch on a cold Tuesday and the food was horrible like week old mashed potatoes, old stale fruit cups, and mushy chicken. When she got her lunch the lunch lady snaped at her and said to hurry up. Everyone in her 3rd grade class was enraged about the way she talked to them. Katie thought the lunch lady was just craby because it stunk behind the counter. But the a wind started to blow but no windows or doors were open.
When the wind stoped she was behind the counter in a shower cap and a white ugly dress. She heard kids pushing and shoving to get buy and yelling hurry up! KATIE WAS THE LUNCH LADY!
She started to sweat and get horrified but she had to serve the food to her friends. Katie poured and chopped stale food on the lunch trays. She heared all the kids shout FOOD FIGHT! They started to throw food everywhere and Katie who forgot she wasn't a kid threw food to bbut then the princepal came in and everyone was quiet. Katie felt a wind but no windows or doors were open. She was Katie again.
The princepal marched in his office with the lunch lady and Katie knew it she was fired. Read the book to see what happens next.
I reccomend this book to kids who love school!
