Judy Moody: Around The World In 8 1/2 Days (2006) - Plot & Excerpts
So, Judy Moody is in the classroom and this girl appeared when she was sitting next to her best friends and she was a reporter and she said, "What would you like for lunch?" And two of Judy Moody's best friends chose pizza, but SHE chose French Toast. And so, she said, "Check!" And Judy Moody said to her friends, "You can't have pizza every day of the week," because they said they wanted pizza every day of the week! And the reporter said, "Why not? My mom knows the lunch ladies!" And so she said, "If you were the principal, what would you change the school rules to?" "Candy machines," said Frank. "A skate park," said Frank. "A swimming pool," said Rocky. "No school picture day," said Rocky. "No pizza reporters bugging us at lunchtime," said Judy. So Judy Moody said, "OK, I got an idea for REAL!" "Chew gum in school!" So, at recess, Judy Moody finds the reporter and the reporter tells Judy about "My Name is a Poem" club. This isn't just a club for anybody. It's a club for people all over the world who have a name that rhymes. Judy Moody joins the club and they meet at the reporter's house. Judy Moody makes pickle flavored gum to trick her little brother.They sent postcards to others in the club... one had ABC (Already Been Chewed)gum in it so it could get stuck on the Wall of Gum. Judy's teacher gives them an assignment to go around the world in 8 1/2 days. Her team is Rocky and Frank and a girl named Isabella. But Rocky and Judy got in a big fight because they're not playing together that much and she is only playing with the reporter and so they can't really do it, but they are trying to. Judy says that they should do a dance and the teacher heard and told them that that was a good idea, but he told them it would also take a lot of work and so they kept practicing but Judy had to go to "My Name is a Poem" club and so they got mad at her and they wouldn't talk to each other.I like this book because I like the reporter and I like how they go around the world and how at first Rocky and Frank liked Amy Namey, but then they didn't like her and they were jealous.
I loved the all Judy Moody books when I was kid! They were always so adventurous and interesting. Megan really knows hot to write books for kids withour making them too complicated or too easy. The illustrations are really good to. When I was a kid, I would always try to draw and recreate the pictures. I really love Judy's cat, Mouse?,. It's just that he's? always there randomly.Stink was amazing character too. Smart and funny. I find it hilarious that a parent would name there kid Stink. I love his series too! I also love Toady. Ahh, memories. I remember always buying Judy Moody stickers too. The stories were amaizng! Some events in the books can really relate to real life stuff.
What do You think about Judy Moody: Around The World In 8 1/2 Days (2006)?
Judy Moody meets her match in Amy Namey, a new girl who not only has a rhyming name like she does but also many other things like her. Is she just copying her? Does Judy have a new enemy or the chance to find a wonderful new friend with whom to share all of her passions? Things get even more complicated when Judy's "old" friends suddenly feel neglected. Will this affect their class work for the Around-the-World project? Life is never boring when you are around Judy Moody (and her brother Stink) and this is another addition to the many wonderful stories already available. I know it will be treasured among our readers.
