The mercurial Judy Moody will delight any kid who's known a bad mood or a bad day—and managed to laugh anyway.

"Judy Moody was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood. A mad-faced mood."

To start, Judy Moody doesn't have high hopes for third grade. Her new desk won't have an armadillo sticker with her name on it. Her new classroom will not have a porcupine named Roger.

And with her luck, she'll get stuck sitting in the first row, where Mr. Todd will notice every time she tries to pass a note to her best friend, Rocky. An aspiring doctor, Judy does have a little brother who comes in handy for practicing medicine, a cool new pet, and a huge Band-Aid collection.

Judy also has an abundance of individuality and attitude, and when Mr. Todd assigns a very special class project, she really gets a chance to express herself!

Megan McDonald's spirited text and Peter Reynolds's wry illustrations combine in a feisty, funny first chapter book for every kid who has ever felt a little out of sorts.


善變的茱蒂．穆迪會設法讓心情不好的孩子開懷大笑。

「茱蒂．穆迪現在的心情，不是好心情，是不好又生氣的心情。」

一開始，茱蒂對三年級期望並不高。她的新書桌上沒有她的穿山甲姓名貼紙。她的新教室也不會有一隻叫做羅傑的豪豬。

而且「幸運」的是，茱蒂依然會坐在第一排，老師陶德先生隨時會注意到她要傳紙條給她最好的朋友──洛奇。茱蒂的弟弟立志成為醫生，在行醫方面可派上用場，他還有一隻酷炫的新寵物以及大量的OK繃。

茱蒂十分有個性，當陶德先生指派非常特別的作業時，她終於有機會可以大展身手！

Megan McDonald 有趣的內容搭配Peter Reynolds 揶揄式幽默的插畫，交織出活潑有趣的故事，此初級轉接讀本適合心情有些低落的孩童們閱讀。

Megan McDonald grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with four older sisters, and she says that most of the stories in Judy Moody "grew out of anecdotes about growing up with them."

In fact, she made Judy the oldest sister because she "wanted to see what it's like to be in charge!" Megan McDonald is the author of numerous children's books and lives with her husband in Sebastopol, California.

Peter Reynolds is an award-winning animator, artist, author, Web site creator, and educator. Peter says he felt an immediate connection to Judy Moody because, "having an 11-year-old daughter, I have witnessed firsthand the adventures of a very independent-minded girl." Peter Reynolds lives in Dedham, Massachusetts.
