To be honest, yesterday I was in a mood. I was not motivated to do anything and found it hard to concentrate. Finally, I grabbed a Judy Moody book and it was just what I needed. I was swept up in the story and it put me in a different mood, a good mood.
Another great Judy Moody adventure. This one pulls in some Nancy Drew fun as Judy solves various mysteries with the help of her friends. I read a few Nancy Drew books as a kid, so it was fun to see all the references and read about Judy trying to emulate the famous girl detective. Definitely makes me want to pull out my old copies of Nancy Drew. This is a fun book for adult fans of Nancy Drew to reminisce about the books as well as interest younger readers in the older classics.
As with the previous books in the series, this one is well-written, engaging, and fun. I also love how the series highlights some famous women (both real and fictional), such as Elizabeth Blackwell and Nancy Drew.
At the end of the book, there is also a bonus story, “Judy Moody and the Mystery of the Missing Mood Ring”.
A fantastic read to put you in a good mood.
