Judy Moody was in a Mood. Not a Good Mood. A Bad Mood.
by Megan McDonald
Judy Moody is quite a character. She is relatable for all kids who are starting the wonderful journey called puberty. Judy Moody lives up to her nickname. She is moody and adventurous and a wanna-be doctor. She is not looking forward to third grade and this is what sets the story up. Judy Moody does not like change and she does not want things to be different from second grade, but different they will be. The story delves into how Judy Moody comes to like third grade and how that affects her personality, home life, and her friendships. Judy Moody is a great book for those who are transitioning into chapter books from picture books. It is an easy read for a chapter book and it is even greater because Judy Moody is going from second to third grade and that is around the time when children begin to pick up these chapter books. Judy Moody is uncomfortable with moving grades and a child might feel the same way about moving grades or about moving on from picture books to chapter books. This is what makes this a fantastic transitional book. Hopefully other children will see that and then delve into the world of Judy Moody and read the other books in the series.
