I am a big fan of the Judy Moody series.
Judy is such a strong character. She's not afraid to be herself and stays true to her beliefs. She isn't scared to express herself and her opinions.
This is a great continuation of the series. I love that is it educational about environmental conservation, but is still fun and entertaining. I also love how McDonald worked in environmental language into the narration such as referring to the class as an ecosystem and using animal similes such as hooting like a howler monkey.
A wonderful, hilarious read.

Judy Moody's class is studying the environment, whipping Judy into a frenzy of activism. Initially, in a very Judy way, she initially turns to her home, causing chaos with her mining of the family trash to ensure nothing recyclable or reusable is thrown away. Eventually, Judy channels that energy into something productive, leading her class on a recycling drive with the profits going to plant trees in the Amazon. But little does Judy know that her efforts are going to get her more notoriety than she bargained for.

This is a great entry in the Judy Moody series, perhaps the best to date. Judy's hypermanicness becomes focused as she channels it into saving the world, and we see a better Judy, one that is engaging, passionate and will, some day, take over the world if she can just stay focused! Megan McDonald's writing rises to a higher level here. Twinned with Peter H. Reynolds illustrations, we get a very good book that is worthy of any library or classroom collection.

I loved this series growing up. I could relate to Judy because I had a younger sister who did all sorts of annoying and crazy things!

I absolutely loved this book. I’m a student teacher and have been trying to build my classroom library. I think it is extremely important to read all the books I want to have just to screen through them. This book was adorable and left me feeling like I could do anything to save the world. Phenomenal book for children that will put them in the mood to be adventurous and caring towards our planet.

#3 in the Judy Moody series.

Judy Moody, notorious collector of band-aids, enters a design contest. When she doesn't win, she sets her sights even higher and sets out to save the world by recycling EVERYTHING. She goes overboard as usual, but her efforts to save the planet end up making a big difference.
