Michalak, Jamie. Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. Sommerville: Candlewick Pres, 2011. N. pag. Print.
This book is based on the motion picture written by Megan McDonald and Kathy Waugh.
I know a lot of kids who like the Judy Moody books. I did not really find this book to be funny, but I can picture my students rolling on the floor laughing if I were to read it to them. Judy Moody feels as though her summer is forever destroyed because her best friends and her parents are leaving town for the break. When she finds out her crazy Aunt Opal is going to be her caregiver for the summer she feels summer doom is certain. However, Judy Moody, her brother, Stink, and Aunt Opal have plenty of crazy adventures and Judy's summer turns out to be alright.
This is a great book to use for readers who are just beginning to feel confident enough to give chapter books a go.
