2.5 stars. Dear Lord, I didn't like Judy in this one. She is way too impressionable. OMG my teacher talks about rainforests and it being destroyed, let me take everything to the extreme and bother everyone and only make things worse! :| Sorry, but do you have a brain? Or do you not have one? Yes, rainforests disappear, that doesn't mean you have to act like this. :|

A 'green' heroine for primary-aged readers
Judy reminded me of characters in my own childhood reading in this episode, from Judy Blume and Paula Danziger books. The newly-educated environmental enthusiast.
Still occasionally moody about life, Judy here learns with her class about a few of the problems facing the world today (and some incredibly current - plastic use and recycling), and 'begins at home' with several schemes that flummox and frustrate her family. She and her brother enter a 'band aid' (UK: plaster) competition to design a new winning band aid. The whole book pivots around the theme of saving the world, which is no bad thing at all for this age group.
Judy's enthusiasm is adorable really, and just as it should be at her age - a little naive of course, but determined to make a difference. And the conclusion will have readers feeling more than satisfied.
I've only read the first book before this, but still knew about Judy's brother, cat and toad, the names of her friends at school, so it isn't a series you must read in order.
As with the others in this re-packaged series, there are stickers at the front, and lots of illustrations throughout. Far fewer 'rare' exclamations, but I'm sure readers will pick up on the general meaning.
The readability remains suitable for a 9 year old or older, and hopefully boys will be interested in this rather neutral female lead.
With thanks to Walker Books for the advance reading copy.

সিরিজটা যত পড়ছি, জুডি মুডি কে তত পছন্দ হচ্ছে। ইম্ম্যাচিইউরডের মোড়কে ভরা আশ্চর্য রকম ম্যাচিউরিটি। বাচ্চাদের কাছ থেকেও কত কি শেখার আছে আমাদের!

Judy Moody and her big feelings continue to be so relatable. In this story Judy is out to make a difference and save the world. Her and Stink, her little brother enter a contest to design a band-aid. When she only gets an honorable mention certificate, she looks for another way to save the world!
We loved seeing in action, how one girl and her class can make such a difference!
