Great book for kids who struggle with their reading.

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!

Judy's Freedom Fight

This book is about how Judy wants independence and her mom and dad keep on saying "we'll think about it." Judy thinks that means no. This book includes learning abut Paul Revere and Sybil Ludington and a lot more about British Stuff. To find out if Judy gets her independence read this book now! If you like Franny K. Stein, Captain Underpants or other learning books you'll like this book a lot. These books mix because they all have a little bit of danger, learning, and a bunch of humor. I liked this book because in one part Judy makes her own freedom trail in her own house. Find out more details in Judy Moody Declares Independence.

A heroine rebelling against parental restrictions and a pesky little brother

Megan McDonald's Judy Moody Declares Independence tells of a heroine rebelling against parental restrictions and a pesky little brother. Her plain to declare independence with all the pomp of patriotism brings her special challenges. More fun stories of the zany Judy emerge.

THERE'S MERRIMENT IN JUDY'S PURSUIT OF FREEDOM

As legions of young readers have happily learned there's nobody, absolutely nobody like Judy Moody. She's fun, feisty and, yes, at times incorrigible. She doesn't much care for school or spending too much time with her pesky kid brother, Stink (her aversions are not necessarily stated by order of importance to her). What she does like at the moment is being in the Cradle of Liberty, Boston Massachusetts. She likes the bean city for several reasons - she's missing two days of school, she's no longer riding in the car next to Stink, and she doesn't have to brush her hair every day. The more Judy thinks about it the more this whole independence idea appeals to her. With Mom and Dad leading the way, readers are treated to a tour of historic sites in Boston as well as concise explanations of what each one means. Of course, in Stink's opinion what they're seeing is about "a bunch of dead guys and some old stuff that isn't even there anymore." However, Judy sees their trip quite differently. She sees it as an opportunity to declare her independence from Stink by always running ahead of him. She meets a new friend from England, Tori, and the two promise to be penpals. Now, the one thing Judy may be missing is that along with her beloved independence comes responsibility - that's with a capital R. Wonder if that's something our favorite girl can learn. Lighthearted illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds lend merriment to Judy's pursuit of freedom. - Gail Cooke

Miss Independent

Judy Moody Declares Independence by Megan McDonald is the newest addition to the delightful Judy Moody series. After taking a family trip to Boston and seeing the Declaration of Independence, Judy decides to write her own Declaration. She also makes a new friend in Tori, a bunny-loving British girl who collects sugar packets and becomes her pen pal. With a little help from her friends and her brother, Judy even stages her own Boston Tea Party! Along the way, Judy learns about history as well as responsibility. Judy continues to say "Rare!" when things are swell and "Roar!" when things are not-so-good. She also starts to use the happy exclamation, "Star-spangled bananas!" Megan McDonald has written another funny story for kids and adults to enjoy. As with the other Judy books, McDonald accurately captures the emotions and imagination of a grammar school girl. The reading level of Independence is right along the same lines as the previous Judy Moody tales: perfect for elementary school kids reading on their own, or for families to read aloud and share. The book also offers unique and cute illustrations by the talented Peter Reynolds. If you like the silliness of Ramona Quimby or the adventures of Katie Kazoo, you'll definitely like the antics of Judy Moody.
