Judy Moody, Book Quiz Whiz (Judy Moody #15)

by Megan McDonald (Author) Peter H Reynolds (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Series: Judy Moody
Books, books, books! Judy's got books on the brain as she prepares for a totally RARE trivia competition. Has reading always been this exciting? Judy Moody is in it to win it. Win the Book Quiz Blowout, that is. Judy and her brother, Stink, are two-fifths of the Virginia Dare Bookworms, and they've been reading up a storm to prepare for Saturday's face-off against second- and third-grade readers from the next town. Judy's trying out all kinds of tactics, from hanging upside down like Pippi Longstocking to teaching herself to speed read The Princess in Black, and Stink has fashioned a cape of book trivia sticky notes to help him remember all the penguins in Mr. Popper's Penguins. But when Judy, Stink, and their fellow teammates discover the other group has a fourth-grader (no lie!), they get a bit nervous. Are the Bookworms up to the challenge?

Gr 2-4--Judy Moody, her brother Stink, and all their friends are back in a new book all about books. Judy and her book trivia team, the Bookworms, cram for their biggest competition to date while cracking jokes along the way and learning to deal with the stress of a big competition. References to kids' books abound, with several questions pulled from children's classics like E.B. White's Charlotte's Web and Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking, as well as modern works like Kara LaReau's Infamous Ratsos and Chris Grabenstein's Mr. Lemoncello's Library. The references are refreshing, but the trivia is incredibly tough (e.g., name the monsters that were eating the Oompa Loompas; identify all of Mr. Popper's penguins). Regardless, junior bibliophiles will appreciate the name-dropping, and all the books mentioned are listed in the back for further research. Reynolds's drawings are as charming as ever and round out this enjoyable tale. VERDICT Purchase where the series is popular.--Peter Blenski, Hartland Public Library, WI
