Review Detail

In this third book of the series, Judy doesn't actually start out with the goal of saving the world. No, her aim is much smaller: she wants to win a Band-Aid contest by designing the coolest, wackiest bandage of all. And Judy is just the gal who can do that. The thirteen winners will be printed on Crazy Strips--and that way, millions of people will end up wearing Judy's art. How cool is that??

The only problem is, Judy's little brother Stink immediately comes up with a cool contest submission. But Judy racks her brain and comes up with--nothing.

Meanwhile, at school, Judy's class is learning all about the environment, and how to help save the Earth. Thinking about healing the planet leads her to thoughts of the bandage contest, and--ta da! Judy has a winner of an idea for the contest, and for her life. She, Judy Moody, will save the world, starting immediately. Unfortunately, saving the world involves educating her family, and her family does not always appreciate being educated.

Judy's good-hearted yet misguided attempts to save the environment find her on a endangered species hunt, up in a tree (literally), and hiding pencils. It's all great fun, and makes a fast, funny read with a terrific ending.
