Attack of the Demon Dinner Ladies

Part of the 'Children's Book Selection for Summer 2016' in The Express.
Izzy and her friends have never liked school dinners. And they're getting worse. The dinner ladies are acting strangely (making up random rules, wearing hats, and cooking new food, even more horrible than usual). Lollipop man mentions there is a new head dinner lady and calls her “a bit of a legend” (in a bad way) and that she used to be here a long, long time ago and has returned. Izzy and friends wonder if she is the reason for the strange behaviour. They wonder why she has returned. They find out she was fired. They speculate as to why and decide she's a demon who's returned to do bad things. Because why wouldn't she be?

    Then Amy said, “It was my fault the seagulls attacked you. Mum’s been letting me feed scraps to the seagulls because I love birds. But we stopped feeding them yesterday because Mum said there were too many hanging around and that we probably shouldn’t have started feeding them in the first place. But then I asked her if we could just feed two little ones that were hiding under the bins because I was scared they were babies and that they were going to starve to death if no one fed them.

    seagulls had spotted the banana and had started chasing her all over the playground. And that her socks and shoes had fallen off when she was trying to get away.
    So then I said, “But what about when we found you behind the kitchen? All of the dinner ladies had you TRAPPED, Maisie! And they were shouting and waving their arms about like mad!”
    But then Maisie said, “They were protecting me. They were trying to scare the seagulls away.”
