From my friends over at The Hollywood Reporter:
Universal has picked up “Lunch Lady,” a children’s graphic novel series written and illustrated by Jarrett Krosoczka, with Amy Poehler attached to star. Poehler will executive produce along with the Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein set to produce. Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern are penning the adaptation.
The “Lady” series, the first of which will be unveiled at the end of July by Knopf Books for Young Readers, centers on a mild-mannered school cafeteria server who secretly dishes out helpings of justice as she and her assistant investigate wrongdoings. The books also feature three kids who try to figure out her double life.
The titles include “Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians” and “Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute,” both of which are due this summer. “Lunch Lady and the Author Visit Vendetta” is scheduled to be released in December and “Lunch Lady and the Summer Camp Shakedown” is set for summer 2010.
