For generations and generations, the women of Grunhilda’s family have stirred up trouble in a big, black pot. Grunhilda inherits her famous ancestors’ recipes and cauldron, but no one believes in magic anymore. Despite the fact that Grunhilda’s only useful skill is cooking up potfuls of foul brew, she finds a job listing that might suit her: lunch lady. She delights in scaring the kids until she meets Madison, a girl with thick glasses and unfinished homework who doesn’t fit in. The two outsiders recognize each other. Madison needs help at school and at home, but helping people goes against everything Grunhilda’s believes in as a witch! Will this girl be able to thaw the Lunch Witch’s icy heart? Or will Grunhilda turn her back on a kindred spirit?

it's a bit scary :(
Grunhilda is a lunch lady. She enjoys scaring kids with her potions and scary figure. Secretly, she is also a witch. When she meets Madison, a smart girl who becomes her friend, Grunhilda is unsure. Madison needs help, and Grunhilda must against witch rules in order to help her! Will she help, or will she keep with the witch law?
I did not like this book! I didn't like the story line or the characters! It was a little scary at times and overall I just didn't really like it.
I remember reading this book last year. It was about a witch who was a lunch lady. She liked to scare children until she met this little girl. Will the witch continue to scare children or will she change? Read this book to find out.
Grunhilda is a witch whose family did not believe in kindness, or any good feelings. She enjoyed scaring people, with ghost cats, flying on broomsticks, etc. That is, until people stopped believing in magic... Her potion shop goes out of business, so Grunhilda seeks work elsewhere. She tries to work at the Salem Haunted Museum, but is fired due to not being scary enough. Then, her dog finds a job hidden in the daily newspaper...the lunch lady at the local school. Her bats come with her, but she urgently ushers them into her bag. Still, the stupid girl, Madison, sees. "Madison finds the word witch in the dictionary. "I wonder...she's solitary and older...she has warts...and bats! The lunch lady obviously is a skilled herbalist'" Madison wants to be turned smarter unfortunately, the spell goes wrong. Madison is now a frog. Grunhilda ancestors approve. But Grunhilda does not. Finally, and much to her family's dislike, she turns Madison into a human again and....
So funny
