#7 in the Judy Moody series.

Judy meets the new girl at school and they have a lot in common. Suddenly, Judy doesn't feel so special anymore. At first she hates Amy Namey, but soon they become friends. Unfortunately, Judy neglects her old friends. Can Judy overcome the hurt feelings and bring ALL of her friends together?

Another quick and easy read that captures the humor and drama of life in 3rd grade.

Reminds me why I love travelling so much - learning about the wide world right from the start.

Judy Moody is such a MOOD lol. This was super fun, but upon rereading it as an adult, I don't think it's anything too special!


trigger warnings: mention of gross things like scabs lol.

There is a new girl in Judy’s life, Amy Namey. She is just like Judy, and at first Judy is jealous about all the attention she is getting. Once they become friends, Judy can’t be separated from Amy and this makes her friends upset that they have been forgotten. This leaves Judy to do her project on Italy all by herself. This novel shows the meaning of friends, and just because you meet new people, doesn’t mean you forget about the old. The plot was done well, as it teaches kids how to have friends. There was never a moment during the novel where the action wavered; it was engaging and fun to read. The characters were done well, there wasn’t too much development, but they did learn some valuable lessons, which makes this worth reading.
