Children's Literature Review:
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.
