Power Lunch Book 1: First Course

Joey eats only white foods, because all other foods make him...different. Bubble gum? Power bounces. Unsurprisingly, this has turned him into the weird kid at most of his schools, but when he meets Jerome, another outcast, he begins to think he can use his food reactions for good.

This was weird. The characters are clearly in middle, or even high, school, but the reading level is 3rd/4th grade level at the highest. The art also skews very young, with minimal drawings and very bright colors. I feel the extreme different between the apparent audience and the reading level/appearance, I don't see this one being very popular.

Pass.

If Joey eats food with color he gains super powers. This means he's constantly having to switch schools, so this time he's sticking with white foods...until his new friend gets picked on by the school bully. He can't just let his friend be picked on after all.

Love the illustrations and I thought the concept was a lot of fun. It's clearly gearing up for Joey to be a superhero but I can't wait for more details.

Serviceable GN with a kid super hero vibe and lunch motif. Fun enough.
