About this title

Synopsis

At Maple Ridge Middle School, lunch is more than a meal.
It is a system. A currency. A kingdom.

Arian Lopez is not loud. He is not mean. He is not trying to be popular.
He is just smart enough to understand one simple truth.

Food runs the school.

With his crew at his side and Smooth Pizza locked down, Arian quietly controls the lunch line, the snack trade, and every unspoken rule that keeps middle school running. Teachers think they are in charge. Students think chaos is random.

They are all wrong.

Because behind the lockers and under the cafeteria tables, a hidden world of deals, alliances, and power moves is already in motion.

When a new kid arrives and starts asking questions, Arian’s carefully balanced system begins to crack. Suddenly, snack routes disappear. Friends are tested. And the adults start paying attention in ways they never have before.

What started as a way to survive middle school becomes something much bigger.

The Lunch Line Mafia is a fast, funny, smart middle grade novel about friendship, leadership, and the secret systems kids build when no one is watching. Packed with humor, heart, and just enough chaos to feel real, this story will make readers laugh, gasp, and never look at a cafeteria the same way again.

Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, and anyone who knows the lunch line is where real power lives.
