My kids have all Judy Moody and Stink books. They love them, and I know for the fact that they help kids who struggle with reading in 3rd grade. They are easy to read and have a good story, are funny and appealing to that age group. A must have!

Megan McDonald's JUDY MOODY: AROUND THE WORLD IN 8 1/2 DAYS tells of Judy, proud of her rhyming name's uniqueness - until Amy Namey enters the scene with not only a rhyming name, but an attitude much like Judy's. Will Amy prove a best friend or an enemy? Add in jealousies over a team project and numerous social interactions which bring new challenges to Judy's circle and you have another Judy Moody book packed with adventure and Peter H. Reynolds' simple, fun drawings.

In the book there is a girl named Amy Namey. Judy doesn't like her but as the book goes on they become friends. If you like Judy Moody books, you will like this one. I think it would take weeks to go around the world. Will she do it in 8 1/2 days? Read to find out!

My third grader just LOVES Judy Moody. These books really got her back into the habit of reading.

I have never before had the pleasure of reading Judy Moody, but as I noticed all the kids at school pretty much worshipping her, I figured I would give her a shot. She is a spunky little heroine without being cliche and therefore a great role-model to third grade girls everywhere! This particular adventure deals with the difficult process of making new friends while still keeping tabs on the old, a situation that complicates a class project. The writing is bright, simple, and wonderfully inclined to wander into randomness, but that is part of the intense charm.

I read Judy Moody Around the World In 8 ½ Days. It was great for the following reasons. I think whoever reads this book will understand it very well because it had very clear writing. Second of all, Judy is very creative because she could make pickle flavored gum. Third of all, this book is funny and you see that in the chapter headings. Some of these are "Eatsa Pizza," "Club Snub," "Heebie Jeebie" and "Bratellino Frattellino." Last of all I think one of the illustrations is fuuny. It is a striped furry spider with 8 legs.

I think Judy Moody Around the World In 8 ½ Days was bad because there was some name-calling in the book. Also because there is a fight between Judy Moody and a guy named Frank who was playing her dance music too fast.

In summary, these are all the reasons that I felt this book was bad and good.

Beautifully done pen and ink drawings set the mood for this light read with a serious story.

Judy Moody meets a girl whose name also rhymes, and also shares her dedication to offbeat interests. With Judy suddenly feeling that she's lost her identity -- she's no longer one-of-a-kind -- we all wonder if Judy will make this girl her nemisis, or become her pal!

Young readers will read Judy Moody: Around the World in 8 1/2 Days over and over again. Kudos once again to Megan McDonald for a great read!

I bought this book for my sister for Christmas, and it arrived very quickly and she was very happy! I would suggest ordering from this user to others!

I purchased the set of Judy Moody (books 1-6) for my six year old Granddaughter. She is an an avid reader and simply loved these books;as soon as she had finished this set of books she was asking if there were more books in the series. She related well to Judy'feelings, escapades and experiences and enjoyed talking to her family about the books. I'm hoping that the next books (7&8) keep her as interested and enthusiastic about reading as the first ones did.

Megan Mcdonald's stories are enjoyable to read. I recommend any of her books!
