WWNDD? What Would Nancy Drew Do? Judy and her new friend, Mighty Fantaskey, take cues from their favorite sleuth as they search for a lost mood ring in a spooky attic.

Judy Moody is freaky for Nancy Drew, the famous girl detective from the book series. Nancy Drew is an ace at solving mysteries with brains, bravery, and bobby pins, and Judy is determined to solve mysteries too. So when Judy bumps into Mighty Fantaskey, she is excited to meet another Nancy Drew fan and to make a new friend. Excited, that is, until she visits Mighty’s house: it’s big and old and creaky and definitely haunted. It even turns Judy’s mood ring the color of fear! On Judy’s first visit, she hightails it out of there, leaving Mighty in the dust. But where is Judy’s favorite ring? Jeepers! Can Judy pluck up enough courage to go back and find it—and solve the real-life mystery waiting in Mighty’s attic?

Fellow F.D.O.s (future dog owners) will delight in Izzy’s quest to secure a furry best friend with help from pals Judy and Stink—and a mysterious letter writer.

Fluffy dogs. Scruffy dogs. Pug-faced dogs. Ugh-faced dogs. Izzy Azumi has dogs on the brain! She already has a goldfish, a South American pink-toe tarantula, and two human best friends. But fish can’t learn tricks, spiders can’t cuddle, and Stink and Judy just aren’t fuzzy enough. Will Izzy Azumi ever see her wish come true? All bets are off . . . until Izzy’s father invites a certain sibling pair to help stage a surprise for their friend. This latest entry in a series for fledgling readers will have younger Judy Moody fans—especially those who long for a dog of their own—yelping for joy.

Birthdays, April Fools’, visits from the Tooth Fairy—mark the calendar for this trio of stories for younger Judy Moody fans. Three books in one!

Holy guacamole! Judy and her family and friends have plenty to celebrate in this bind-up of three favorite episodes.

Mrs. Moody in The Birthday Jinx
Every year on Mom’s birthday, one way or another, something goes wrong. But this year, Judy is going to do all she can to make sure Mom gets the happy birthday she deserves. Watch out! The Boss of Birthday (aka Judy) is on the job!

April Fools’, Mr. Todd!
It’s April Fools’ Day—and Judy’s birthday. Will her friends remember in time, or will Judy be the fool this year? And just what might Mr. Todd have up his sleeve?

Judy Moody, Tooth Fairy
Judy and her friends are on the playground when Jessica Finch overhears a fifth-grader say there’s no such thing as the Tooth Fairy. What!? Luckily, Judy Moody is on the case in this cavity-free caper full of surprises—and a little bit of magic.

It’s all systems go for a bedtime voyage to the stars and to Mars! Stink and his best friend, Webster, let their imaginations fly at their first-ever sleepover.

Three, two, one . . . sleepover! Stink can’t wait for Webster to arrive and sleep over for the very first time. Big sister Judy is ready with all the important rules: (1) You have to have a theme. (2) You have to have an activity. (3) You have to have snacks. (4) You cannot sleep! When Webster shows up in his outer-space pj’s, it doesn’t take long for a theme to emerge. Stink’s race-car bed doubles as a spaceship and an old keyboard is a control panel as the explorers suit up, buckle in, and blast off . . . Va-room! Playful illustrations and astronaut lingo capture their imaginary adventure from takeoff to spacewalking, while more creativity comes into play when they land and experiment with space-worthy snacks.
