Judy Moody has made it to the big screen! Following my own advice, "read the book BEFORE you see the movie", I read this book and was pleasantly surprised that even though it was co-written by the screenwriter for the movie, it holds very true to previous Judy Moody books.
Author Megan McDonald says it best on her website - Judy Moody gets famous - FOR REAL!
Judy and her brother Stink are super excited about summer vacation. Judy comes up with a summer challenge for her friends Amy, Frank, and Rocky. She introduced them to the "Judy Moody Mega-Rare NOT-Bummer-Summer Dare", to help avoid the "Boring with a capital B, typical summer". Judy did not count on Amy going to Borneo and Rocky going to a summer circus camp. That left her and Frank. Not so fun! Then Judy's parents tell her they are going to California for the summer to help Nana and Gramps. She was super excited, until her dad said, "you and Stink are staying here". NOW she was in a mood! They told her she would have fun with her Aunt Opal, who Judy quickly nicknamed Aunt Awful. Her entire summer was looking like a bummer. Read Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer to see how it all works out for Judy.
