Just love the story and illustration.  Mertie really has a learning experience in every story.  The books are fun and keep a child's interest.  I love the innocence of her adventures.  I highly recommend them for children.

I am practically in love with the books. Stink is so adorable! I have to give it a 5 star rating. If u want to become a detective then step right up and Judy Drewdy (Judy Moody) will help! Totally recommend it!!!!!!!

I have ordered several of these books from Karen Roberts. I also follow her "The Little Blue Dog" on Facebook. I love Louie and her other rescues. My daughter enjoys reading these books. I enjoy them too.

It's been a long time since I have seen a new Dorothy Martin book out, and I was pleased to see this one.  I don't believe it is quite up to the earlier ones, but I loved it!  Dorothy and her husband are amazing.  She is certainly becoming more British!  They use common sense (and a lot of luck) in solving the mystery.  It is a good, quick read.

My first introduction to either Megan McDonald or Peter H Reynolds were the Judy Moody and Stink books. I have since read all the books in both of those series and most of the other books by both Megan the Author and Peter the illustrator.  After more than 30 books in this series it is still highly entertaining. I gave up on Xanth long before that and there are few series that keep me that long especially if written by one author. That is a testament to the craft of both McDonald and Reynolds. I still get excited when I find out there is another books in one of the Moody series. And this one the ninth Stink Moody book did not disappoint.

This story begins with Stink trying to stay up because his parents were out at a charity auction and he cannot wait to find out what they won. And they have bid on and won a sleepover for them and a friend at the local aquarium. But from the get go Judy is bugging Stink that he does not like sleepovers, even at their grandma's.  When the big day comes The Moody's, Mom, Dad, Judy  and stink along with Webster head to the sleepover. When they get there the meet up with Sophie of the Elves. There is an amazing scavenger hunt, a replica megalodon fin, shark feeding and so much more. A virtual campfire and of course ghost stories or in this case creepy Frankensquid story about Bloody Mary! Thor in a few pranks and we have a recipe for a great adventure.

This is yet another great read from McDonald and Reynolds. And now my kids are old enough that we have started reading these books together so it is fun for the whole family. In the Moody's universe we now have Judy Moody, Stink Moody Judy Moody and Stink, and a new series called Judy moody and Friends. And I can say they are all great books in amazing series, check them out for you and the young readers in your life.

My five year old daughter was 3 when we started reading these books.  She loves everyone of them.  I love the stories and the way the animals display their friendship.

I would highly recommend these.

I love the Cedar Cove books. They are so easy to read from one book to the next.  DEBBIE MACOMBER is so good at keeping all the people moving through each new book.

I remember reading all the Mrs Piggle-Wiggle books as a child and loving them. I am now 52 and feel like reading them again and then hopefully reading them to my Grandchildren.

The Two Old Biddy series are such fun reads. My favorite one is always the newest one. JillAyn really knows how to entertain with humor, suspense and lightness

Dorothy and her younger sister, Sam, have been sent to live with their grandmother while her mother gets her life sorted out. The only thing is, Grandma isn't your run-of-the-mill grandmother  she drives a hearse called Dead Betty, and wears distinctly un-grandmotherly clothes. All Dorothy wants to do is fade into the new school year, but Grandma  coupled with Dorothys clumsiness  make her a target for the local mean girl group, the Pom-Poms. Dorothy does make some new friends, though  she, Gigi, and Jade become a tight threesome, and somehow find themselves forming a roller derby team! Grandma  who used to be Shotgun Sally in her roller derby days  signs on as coach, and the girls have to recruit more team members before the big bout. And they also need to learn the rules of roller derby. And how to skate. The thing is, the rink they practice at may be haunted, and Dorothy is terrified that her mother  whos forbidden roller skating  will somehow find out whats going on. Can the girls pull it together and become a team?

Where was this series when I was a kid, watching late-night roller derby on off-network TV and hitting the roller rinks with my friends when I was in 8th grade? I love the fact that roller derby is starting to see a resurgence in media, and thrilled with this series, which is just too much fun. The author knows and loves her subject  Meghan Dougherty is a derby girl, and manages to give us a fun story about friendship and family, with a wonderfully unconventional and independent group of women, young and old. Alece Birnbachs illustrations add to the fun, especially when Dougherty lets Birnbachs pictures narrate the derby action! I really appreciated the nonfictional derby instruction in the book  there are rules and positions, folks!  and will work nicely with Common Core standards, so teachers, get this book on your reading lists for summer.
