She is absolutely sure her new desk will not have a cool armadillo sticker, and she knows she will get stuck sitting in the front row where her teacher, Mr. Todd, can see everything. Plus, she has to deal with her annoying little brother, Stink, who is always getting in the way of her dreams of becoming a real doctor. But when Mr. Todd assigns a very special Me collage project, Judy finally gets the chance to show everyone exactly who she is! With her massive Band-Aid collection, her cool new pet, and a whole lot of attitude, Judy sets out to create the best project ever. Meet the feisty, funny, and fiercely independent Judy Moody in the book that started it all! You will laugh out loud at her hilarious school struggles and brilliant ideas in this classic chapter book that perfectly captures what it feels like to be a kid.
