How Lunchbox Jones saved me from robots, traitors, and Missy the Cruel

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I have never read a book by Jennifer Brown so I wasn't sure what it would be like. I expected it to be fun and light hearted, but wasn't prepared for how heart warming it was. The main character, Luke, is such a lovable character. One of my pet peeves in middle grade novels is when the “bad guy” gets what is coming to him, but this book doesn't fall into that trap. Luke learns that even those who aren't kind usually have their reasons and hard things they are going through. What a surprisingly lovely book!
