Judy Moody is psyched for summer — that is until she realizes that two of her three best friends aren’t going to be around: Rocky will be teaching lions to jump through hoops at circus camp, and Amy is going to be searching for lost tribes in the rain forests of Borneo. How can Judy’s summer ever compare? But she is determined that her summer will NOT be a bummer, that she and Frank Pearl will have the most NOT bummer summer ever — with plenty of thrill points to prove it!

Judy Moody is a sweet, fun, adventurous story about Judy's summer experiences. In this book, she tries to find fun things to do with her friends now that school is out, but the trouble she gets into is funny and will keep your attention. I loved this little story. It really had a good story and kept my attention! I would love to have this book in my classroom. I know my future students would love to read this.
This book is filled with imagination and determination. I would maybe assign this book before summer or have my students read this book and then come up with a dare to do as a class.
I read this over the summer and the kids loved it. They couldn't wait to see what would happen to make the summer not such a bummer. Book is great for 2nd graders
