I can only state that with every Judy or Stink Moody book that I read I love the characters more and appreciate the authors more. These are amazing books and in less than 2 months I have read over 20 books combined across the two authors. Megan McDonald has an amazing gift as a story teller for capturing family life and putting a humorous twist on daily life. Peter H. Reynolds is an incredible illustrator and story teller himself and his illustrations add a wonderful dimension especially to the Judy and Stink Moody books. I have been recommending these books to everyone I know with kids between 5 and 15 and so far everyone who has tried them has loved them. These are books I cannot wait for my children to be a little older so I can share with them, and that is the highest praise I can give.

This is the fourth book chronologically in the Judy Moody Series. The chapters are as follows:

The Mood Ring
Eeny Meany Green Zucchini
Toady Calling
Madame M for Moody
The Sleeping Speller
Preposterous Hippopotamus
Antarctica
The V.I.Q.
Operation True Love
Non-Fiction Prediction
Purple Mountain Majesty

In this book Judy tries to trick Stink by predicting the future. But soon much of what she predicts comes true. Then at school, she makes a boast prediction and it does not come true. As we can expect, this puts Judy Moody in a mood. But as she tries to figure out what is going on with her teacher and the artist that is visiting the school, she realizes sometimes you can figure things out before they become public. In this book, Judy gets her first mood ring, Toady comes back and is more fun than you can imagine. It was a great read in an amazing series.
