The Magic Lunch Box (Ben Lee)

by Hanna Kim (Author) Emily Paik (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Series: Ben Lee

Fourth-grader Ben Lee is anxious to make new friends at his new school in Michigan. But on his first day, things take a turn for the worse. The other kids act grossed out by the homemade kimbap in his lunch box.

Embarrassed, Ben makes an impulsive wish, and soon strange things start happening. A ham sandwich appears in his lunch box inside instead of Mom's homemade mandoo. At first, Ben is thrilled. But soon the magical switcheroos start happening regularly and to other things--like Ben's favorite Korean cartoon, Tobot V. And the special pencils his grandma sent from Korea.

How far will the lunchbox magic go? And how far will Ben go to set things right?
