Judy Moody was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood. A mad-faced mood. To start, Judy Moody doesn t have high hopes for third grade. Her new desk won t have an armadillo sticker with her name on it. Her new classroom will not have a porcupine named Roger. And with her luck, she ll get stuck sitting in the first row, where Mr. Todd will notice every time she tries to pass a note to her best friend, Rocky. An aspiring doctor, Judy does have a little brother who comes in handy for practicing medicine, a cool new pet, and a huge Band-Aid collection. Judy also has an abundance of individuality and attitude, and when Mr. Todd assigns a very special class project, she really gets a chance to express herself! Megan McDonald's spirited text and Peter Reynolds wry illustrations combine in a feisty, funny first chapter book for every kid who has ever felt a little out of sorts.
