Magic Pickle by Scottt Morse

Magic Pickle by Scott Morse, reviewed by Linda Bryant, Hoyt Children’s Dept.
Scholastic Graphix, 2008 $9.99, unpaged
Recommended for ages 8 – 12

The Magic Pickle was created by a world-renowned scientist when his lunch fell into an experimental particle confabulator. The resulting super-hero pickle was code-named Weapon Kosher and trained to save the world from the Evil Brotherhood of Produce. When priceless works of art begin to disappear, Weapon Kosher knows the Evil Brotherhood is at work again. How he and his new sidekick Jo Jo Wigman tackle the evil vegetables in a cafeteria food fight makes for a hilarious story. The full-color illustrations add visual pizzazz to this graphic novel. Magic Pickle is a fun, quick summer read.
