Bernadette and the Lunch Bunch
Bernadette Inez O’Brian Schwartz is a very small girl with a very long name and a very BIG imagination…
Bernadette is having a hard time starting a new school year. Her best friend has moved away and now she has to deal with bossy teachers, nosy younger kids, and food fights all by herself – and that’s just at lunch! It’s only when she makes three new best friends, Annie, Keisha, and Megan, that she finds a way to survive the school lunch room – by forming the Lunch Bunch! Together the girls will plan a pirate birthday party, paint a mural to make someone happy, and discover that everyone has a special talent – even if it doesn’t belong in the school talent show!
