Rose wishes that Zack wasn't always teasing her at school. Then her Uncle Vinnie conjures up a magic way of stopping him. Ratty, the classroom pet might look like just a cute rat to Rose, but, as bully-boy Zack finds out, there's more to this little furry rodent than meets the eye-
It's her funniest adventure yet! A few sessions with a college-age
math tutor turn Judy into a jargon-spouting polygon princess.
Crucial!
Judy Moody is in a mood. Not a good mood. And definitely NOT a math
mood. The substitute teacher in Class 3T thinks Judy's math skills
need improving. So Judy has to start meeting with a math tutor.
Does this mean flash cards? Does this mean baby games? Does this
mean school on weekends? But when Judy meets her tutor -- a
sick-awesome college student with an uber-funky sense of style --
and gets a glimpse of college life, Judy's bad math-i-tude turns
into a radical glad-i-tude. Pretty soon, Judy's not only acing her
math class; she's owning it. Time to say good-bye to Judy Moody,
old skool third-grader, and say hello to Miss College! Small-tall
upside-down backward non-fat capp with extra whip, anyone?
