By: Megan McDonald

Illustrated By: Peter H Reynolds

Book 9 in the Judy Moody series

Judy Moody is in a Nancy Drew kind of mood. She’s been reading stories about the girl detective and has decided that that is what she wants to be. It is a good thing that she is in a mystery solving mood because she finds herself smack in the middle of an honest to goodness mystery. Mr Chips, a police dog in training, has gone missing. Never fear, Judy Drewdy is on the case, she thinks he was taken by evil dognappers and is determined to track them down. Armed with her detective kit and her associates; agents Stink, Pearl and Rock.

Judy is a girl who is enthusiastic and quickly gets swept up into her own bright ideas. She may not always be right in her assumptions but she is determined. McDonald has created fun characters with entertaining stories. The print is fairly large but the chapters average about 14 pages which makes the books best suited to readers in the 7-9 age category. Judy Moody is a lot of fun.

Judy Moody

By:Megan McDonald

Illustrated By: Peter H Reynolds

Judy Moody series Bk 1

Judy Moody has plenty of moods and she starts her new school year off in a bad one. ROAR! Then her teacher gives the class a ‘Me’ collage project and Judy starts to have some fun. She knows what she wants to be but there are so many other places to fill on the collage and she doesn’t know what she is going to do to fill them. While thinking on that she has to have fun with her best friend Rocky, not go to Frank’s birthday and hope her brother Stink doesn’t ruin everything.

A fun read about the important things of being in grade three. And she learns a few things as well, including how your attitude can change a bad mood into a good one. There is more text  and less pictures than some of the early reader books so probably suited to a reader more comfortable with reading than a total beginner.
