Books, books, books! Judy’s got books on the brain as she prepares for a totally RARE trivia competition. Has reading always been this exciting?
Judy Moody is in it to win it. Win the Book Quiz Blowout, that is. Judy and her brother, Stink, are two-fifths of the Virginia Dare Bookworms, and they’ve been reading up a storm to prepare for Saturday’s face-off against second- and third-grade readers from the next town. Judy’s trying out all kinds of tactics, from hanging upside down like Pippi Longstocking to teaching herself to speed read The Princess in Black, and Stink has fashioned a cape of book trivia sticky notes to help him remember all the penguins in Mr. Popper’s Penguins. But when Judy, Stink, and their fellow teammates discover the other group has a fourth-grader (no lie!), they get a bit nervous. Are the Bookworms up to the challenge?
When I was in 3rd grade, I was *the biggest* fan of Judy Moody. She is such a relatable main character, and I just loved following her on all her school, friend, and family adventures!
Fast forward nearly 10 years, when I’m scrolling on Netgalley and see that there is a new (and super-bookish!) Judy Moody book coming out. Even though I’m about 10 years too old for it, I just couldn’t resist clicking the “request” button.
Before I begin, I would just like to say thank you to Candlewick for approving me for an ARC. It’s too bad I’m no longer the same age as Judy, because I just know that nothing would’ve pleased 8 year old Julie more than getting to read a Judy Moody book before all her friends and classmates
