Gr 1–3—Budding journalist Amy Namey is having a tough time sniffing out a juicy news story. Frank Pearl will do anything to finally win first prize in a contest. With the help of the indomitable Judy Moody, these two plucky kids each achieve their dreams in their own volumes. McDonald's signature humor and Madrid's delightful illustrations will appeal to the youngest of independent readers.
Judy Moody's friends take center stage in two more spinoff transitional readers. As Judy provides ideas and support, budding journalist Amy hunts for news stories and Frank attempts to win a contest. Series illustrator Madrid brings the original characters to full-color life. The breezy, humorous books are great stepping stones for kids on their way to independent chapter-book reading. Review covers these Judy Moody and Friends titles: Amy Namey in Ace Reporter and Frank Pearl in The Awful Waffle Kerfuffle.
