Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-5-Summer is finally here and Judy Moody is bummed. Not only are her parents headed to California without her and her little brother Stink, they are leaving them in the care of her awful Aunt Opal. On top of that, two of her best friends are off for daring adventures, while Judy is sure she's going to have the "boringest" summer ever. Judy comes up with a daring, THRILL-a-delic plan to save her summer including tightrope walking, a midnight stakeout, and chasing after Bigfoot in a runaway ice-cream truck. But after all that, and a surprise poop picnic, will she still be able to earn enough "thrill points" to beat her friends? Based on the screenplay by Megan McDonald and Kathy Waugh (Candlewick, 2011), both fans of the series and those new to it will enjoy this fast-paced listen. Barbara Rosenblat's narration adds to the fun.-Amy Joslyn, Fairport Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Review by Horn Book Review

It seems everyone but Judy has big plans for the summer. To avoid getting bummed out, Judy invents a contest to earn thrill points.¶ But her dares go awry, and she misses opportunities for fun with friend Frank, Aunt Opal, and brother Stink (who is hunting Bigfoot). Judy's quirky personality is once again captured in Reynolds's humorous illustrations. Adapted from the feature film. (c) Copyright 2012.
