'The Day the Mac 'n' Cheese Ran Out' brings us the sequel to the popular 'The (not so) Superheroes'. Best read in series order, this tale follows Zeb as he works to get himself out of trouble after playing a prank on a lion. The plan? To make enough mac 'n' cheese to feed the lion's entire family!

This book is best suited for young children, looking to make their foray into novels. Written in a graphic novel format, it is a quick read that would work well as an independent reader. There are some great cartoon drawings throughout this story, making it the ideal book for reluctant readers who just want a funny story to help with engagement.
