Review
Fans of the Judy Moody series know that main character, Judy, is often in a bad mood. What would happen if Judy Moody tried to be in a good mood for a change? When it's Backwards Day at school, Judy dresses and acts like her arch-nemesis Jessica Finch. She quickly finds out that being positive and being kind to others has its benefits. Despite the confused reactions she receives from friends and family, Judy makes it her objective to be neat, responsible and in a good mood all week long. Young readers will relate to Judy's predicaments in this hilarious early chapter book. Reynolds' pen and ink drawings enhance the story and add to the humor.
