More About This Book

Overview

Reissued in a way-cool paperback design

Judy Moody is in a mood. Not a good mood. And definitely NOT a math mood. The substitute teacher in Class 3T thinks Judy's math skills need improving. So Judy has to start meeting with a math tutor. Does this mean flash cards? Does this mean baby games? Does this mean school on weekends? But when Judy meets her tutor — a sick-awesome college student with an uber-funky sense of style — and gets a glimpse of college life, Judy's bad math-i-tude turns into a radical glad-i-tude. Pretty soon, Judy's not only acing her math class; she's owning it. Time to say good-bye to Judy Moody, old skool third-grader, and say hello to Miss College! Small-tall upside-down backward non-fat capp with extra whip, anyone?

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
The latest installment of the Judy Moody and Stink books finds Judy struggling to overcome her dislike of a substitute teacher. When Mr. Todd goes away for two weeks, Mrs. Grossman takes over the classroom and changes everything so much that Judy can no longer concentrate in class. When Mrs. Grossman sends a note home to Judy's parents to tell them that Judy is having trouble with math, Judy's parents decide to find her a tutor at the local college. Visiting her tutor on the college campus, Judy enters a new and amazing world and immediately begins to transform her life—and her friends' lives—into a college student's life. In typical fashion, McDonald writes an engaging story that draws the reader into Judy's world and makes them as much a part of the story as Judy and her family. The simple illustrations add depth to the text, adequately showcasing the changes in Judy's appearance and demeanor as the story progresses. Reviewer: Danielle Williams
Children's Literature
Get ready for a wild and wooly read with this hilarious chapter book from the "Judy Moody" series. In this fast paced book, Judy's school time does not go as well as it should when her class gets a substitute teacher. Ultimately, the substitute convinces Judy's parents that Judy needs help with math. Her parents hire a college-aged tutor to help, and Judy's college experience begins. The fun-loving tutor finds excellent ways to present math work while using real life situations. At the same time, Judy is exposed to college life. Judy thrives in the setting and begins to think of herself as a college student. Her attempt to dress like a college student adds to the captivating tale. Humor that appears throughout the text is sure to keep young readers turning pages. Even chapter titles, including "Math-i-tude," "Brat-i-tude," "Cat-i-tude," and "Flunk-i-tude" are witty. Black and white illustrations feature Judy, her class, her college experience, and many of the humorous situations. Included at the end is a spiffy section called "Judy's Not-Webster's New World College Dictionary, First Edition." It contains definitions for many of the fun phrases that likable Judy learns at college. Phrases listed in the section include "geck," "hit me up later," and "ridonkulus." This well-written, entertaining chapter book is a plus for emerging readers looking for a longer book. Reviewer: Nancy Garhan Attebury

Read an Excerpt

Math-i-tude

When Judy Moody got to school on Monday, she had a new teacher. Her new teacher was called a sub (not the sandwich). Her new teacher was called Mrs. Grossman. Exactly three things were wrong with that. (1) Mrs. Grossman was NOT gross. (2) Mrs. Grossman was NOT a man. (3) Mrs. Grossman was NOT Mr. Todd.

Judy was the first to raise her hand. "Where’s Mr. Todd?"

"I'm sure Mr. Todd told everyone on Friday that he was going to a special teacher conference."

"I wasn't here Friday," said Judy.

"He's going to learn to be a better teacher," said Jessica Finch.

"But Mr. Todd's already a great teacher," said Judy.

"Maybe he's getting a special teacher award," said Rocky.

"Where did he go?" Judy asked. "And when will he be back?"

The others joined in. "Are you going to read us Catwings? Mr. Todd always reads us Catwings. And Catwings Return."

"Are you going to take us on field trips? Mr. Todd always takes us on field trips."

"Are we still Class 3T? Or are we Class 3G now?"

"Mr. Todd is in Bologna, Italy," said Mrs. Grossman.

SHEESH. Life was no fair. Judy liked baloney (the sandwich). Judy liked Italy. She even knew a special dance from Italy—the tarantella. Mr. Todd was probably in the Land of Baloney right now, dancing like a tarantula, while they were stuck in the Land of Multiplication, learning boring old times tables.

She, Judy Moody, did not like third grade, Class 3T-that-was-now-3G, without Mr. Todd.

Judy Moody's new teacher came from New England. She did not talk like Mr. Todd. She talked funny, with a lot of extra r's. Judy Moody's new teacher did not wear cool glasses like Mr. Todd. She wore glasses hanging from a chain around her neck. She did not even smell like Mr. Todd. She smelled like she took a bath in P.U. perfume.

Judy Moody's new teacher put up a tent in the back of the room with a sign that said ATTITUDE TENT. Judy wondered what attitude they had to be in to get to go camping.

And . . . Judy Moody's new teacher was cuckoo for candy. She gave out candy for good behavior to everybody (minus Judy, because she was in a mood). She even gave out candy for the right answers in math. Pretty soon, the whole class was going to have math cavities. Except for Judy.

Today, Mrs. Grossman was talking about measure. Quarts and gallons and barrels and hogsheads. She tried to make it sound like math was a barrel of fun. But Judy, for one, did not give a pig's ear about hogsheads.

Mrs. Grossman wore ten gallons of perfume. Mrs. Grossman gave out twenty hogsheads of candy.

Instead of listening, Judy played with her watch. Her brand-new, fancy-dancy, robin's-egg-blue, glow-in-the-dark Ask-a-Question Watch 5000, complete with predict-the-future answers and screen saver.

Blah, blah, blah, said Mrs. Grossman. Rounding numbers up, rounding numbers down. Judy estimated that rounding did not make math one bit easier.

Judy pressed some buttons. A nightlight blinked. A dual-time button gave the time in TWO countries so a person did not have to wear two different watches.

Scribble, scribble. Mrs. Grossman scratched on the board for a math-ternity.

Judy pressed the big green questionmark button.

Rare! It was just like the Magic 8 Ball. Ask the watch a question, press the glow-in-the-dark green button, and it gave you mystery answers.

Is Mrs. Grossman cuckoo for math?

YOU BET.

Is Mrs. Grossman ever going to give me candy?

CAN'T TELL.

Am I going to college someday?

LOOKS GOOD.

Is Mr. Todd ever coming back?

HAZY.

"Judy? Did you hear the question?"

Judy did not hear the question. So Judy did not know the answer.

Was it 77? 88? 99? Gallons? Bathtubs? Barrels? Pigs' heads?

Judy blurted the only answer that sprang to mind.

"Hazy!" she called out.

    JUDY MOODY

    This book isone of the youngest books i have ever read. Meaning a girl like me that is eleven like me should also feel the same way. I read on a college level so for me as a sixth grader this is far beyond mature. This is like reading a first grade poem aloud. But he only reason i get it is because my little sisters(9) love the series. So i have to buy each series. They love the characters and "humor". I feel anyone under the fifth grade should readbthese types of books. In my perrspective i dont feel this book is mature for their age or just plain stupid. You grown ups might be wonder ing ho am i on a college reading level but i just read and learn vocabulary as i go. But anywas thos book is really underage for anyone over 11.
