The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach

In this first book in the Mitch Spinach series we meet Mitch Spinach™, who seems to be an ordinary kid, but his classmates have begun to suspect something. The notes in his custom-made, temperature-controlled Nutripak™ lunchbox appear to have been written in code. While other kids eat their usual chicken fingers and pepperoni pizza, Mitch Spinach mixes up his meal in a battery-powered blender before their curious and envious eyes. Although he is the smartest, nicest, strongest kid in Ms. Radicchio’s class, he often misses recess when he is called to Principal Lycopene’s office. The truth is that his high-powered fruit and vegetable smoothies give him special powers, such as super-sonic hearing and amazing night vision, which help him tackle problems and solve mysteries at Sunchoke Elementary.

My boys loved The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach by Hillary Feerick and Jeff Hillendrand. It was not only educational- from a health standpoint but it contained mystery and excitement as well. They were hooked. They loved the nutripak lunchbox and battery powered blender- they thought it was “way cool”. Your children will love this book. If you are a teacher- get this book for your classroom. If you are a parent- get 2 copies, 1 for your children and 1 to donate to your local school library.
