From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4-Yuck! The food in the newly remodeled cafeteria of Evergreen Avenue School is even worse than in the old one. The pizza is soggy, everything burns in the oven, and the hot dogs are made from tofu. Why? It's a mystery Gwen and Jill are determined to solve. As in the other "Something Queer" books, these plucky girls solve the puzzle with chutzpa and intelligence. Agreeably written with believable characters and incidents, the story will keep children reading to discover the culprit's identity, and the funny pictures of all of the crazy antics, complete with inserts, close-ups of clues, and diagrams, will keep them laughing. And in the end, they're sure to cheer when Ms. Lensky, the mean cafeteria manager, declares that there'll be no more tofu dogs for anyone.

Gr. 2-4. Most school cafeteria lunches don't rate stars, but the food at Evergreen Avenue School's new cafeteria is now worse than it was before the cafeteria was renovated. Gwen and her best friend, Jill, are convinced that the quality of the food is only part of the problem: food fights are breaking out, tofu hot dogs are disappearing, and the kitchen is being wrecked. When the Mean Cafeteria Lady (the MCL) accuses Gwen and Jill of the hijinks, the girls determine to find out what's going on. The tenth book in Levy's mystery series is sure to amuse young readers: the pace is quick, the mystery realistic, and the clues good but not too easy. Mordicai Gerstein's wacky, full-color illustrations add to the fun and contain lots of hints for puzzle solvers. Chris Sherman
