Lisa Hanawalt, author of MY DIRTY DUMB EYES (forthcoming)
My older brother and I were obsessed with Cream of Creature from the School Cafeteria when we were little. The story is about a school lunch that gains sentience and won’t stop growing and terrorizing the kids—it’s super disgusting and the drawings are hilarious. And I won’t completely spoil the ending, but I always loved that the hero of the story is a fat dorky kid.
