From the Publisher

Megan McDonald's can-do, groovy heroine returns in this mesmerizingly marvelous read about a new mood ring and some telling predictions. With her cereal box prize, the ring, Judy becomes "Madame M" and begins telling the future to folks who think her powers might be legit. Things don't always go as predicted, though: The Toad Pee Club's mascot does come home as Judy forecasts, but when she envisions a 110% score on her spelling test, she winds up with a less-than-perfect grade. Fortunately, Judy keeps an optimistic attitude, and after she correctly guesses about Mr. Todd's romantic life, she begins wondering what her own future holds. Another divine Judy Moody installment that includes more of Peter Reynolds's peppy art, this quick read is destined to keep fans howling with laughter.

Sections such as "Favorite Pets" suggest prompts and provide quotes from the books to spark budding writers' entries. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Publishers Weekly

Gr 2-4-After eating seven bowls of cereal, third-grader Judy finally uncovers her mystery prize- a mood ring. It stubbornly stays black ("Grouchy, Impossible") after she slips it on, but over time the ring warms up to her. She thinks it has ESP, which allows her to make some outlandish predictions. Judy (as Madame M) forecasts she will ace her spelling test without studying. Naturally she doesn't, nor does she foresee getting in trouble with Mr. Todd, her teacher, after distracting the class with her prized possession. Judy's brother and friends are skeptical about the girl's newfound ability but with a few lucky guesses and a lot of confidence, Madame M marvels them with the biggest prophesy of all: Mr. Todd is in love. Established fans and new readers of the series will enjoy this adventure. Amusing black-and-white watercolors capture the humor and the girl's inimitable spirit. Prediction: another winner starring Judy Moody.-Alison Grant, West Bloomfield Township Public Library, MI Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

School Library Journal

Judy Moody takes over where Junie B. Jones leaves off. She speaks her mind, runs hot and cold with her family, and confronts important issues. In this third installment, Judy is convinced that the mood ring for which she has finally eaten enough cereal will bring her acclaim and solve many a problem. Kate Forbes narrates with the urgency and heart-on-your-sleeve transparency that bespeaks Judy--who is from moment to moment light, inquisitive, on a beeline, or dejected. Forbes's pacing speeds and slows in time with Judy's heart and mind. A.R. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
