Judy Moody #14
Джуді Муді та королівське чаювання
У Джуді Муді фіолетово-королівський настрій! Виявляється, колись Муді (тобто їхні сміливі предки) жили в Англії. Тож, якщо вірити нотаткам її дідуся, Джуді навіть може бути родичкою — королівські фанфари, будь ласка, — самої королеви! Може, вже час пакувати її фіолетовий халат для ночівлі у Букінгемському палаці? Але от халепа, а якщо її прадідусь у тринадцятому коліні не був королівської крові?.. Тепер Джуді має справжню королівську таємницю, яку воліє сховати десь у підземеллі, особливо від Джесіки Фінч-Зрадинч!

About the author
Megan McDonald
295 books737 followers"Sometimes I think I am Judy Moody," says Megan McDonald, author of the Judy Moody series, the Stink series, and THE SISTERS CLUB. "I'm certainly moody, like she is. Judy has a strong voice and always speaks up for herself. I like that."
For Megan McDonald, being able to speak up for herself wasn't always easy. She grew up as the youngest of five sisters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her father, an ironworker, was known to his coworkers as "Little Johnny the Storyteller." Every evening at dinner the McDonalds would gather to talk and tell stories, but Megan McDonald was barely able to get a word in edgewise. "I'm told I began to stutter," she says, leading her mother to give her a notebook so she could start "writing things down."
Critically acclaimed, the Judy Moody books have won numerous awards, ranging from a PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Best Book of the Year to an International Reading Association Children's Choice. "Judy has taken on a life of her own," the author notes, with nearly 3 million Judy Moody books in print. Interestingly, the feisty third-grader is highly popular with boys and girls, making for a strong base of fans who are among Megan McDonald's strongest incentives to keep writing, along with "too many ideas and a little chocolate." And now -- by popular demand -- Judy Moody's little brother, Stink, gets his chance to star in his own adventures! Beginning with STINK: THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING KID, three more stories, and his own encyclopedia, STINK-O-PEDIA, Stink's special style comes through loud and strong -- enhanced by a series of comic strips, drawn by Stink himself, which are sprinkled throughout the first book. About the need for a book all about Stink, Megan McDonald says, "Once, while I was visiting a class full of Judy Moody readers, the kids, many with spiked hair à la Judy's little brother, chanted, 'Stink! Stink! Stink! Stink! Stink!' as I entered the room. In that moment, I knew that Stink had to have a book all his own."
More recently, Megan McDonald has recalled some of her own childhood with the warmth, humor -- and squabbles -- of three spunky sisters in THE SISTERS CLUB.
Megan McDonald and her husband live in Sebastopol, California, with two dogs, two adopted horses, and fifteen wild turkeys that like to hang out on their back porch.

Judy Moody is back. In this hilarious story, Judy is learning all about her family tree when her Grandmother mentions to her that the name has changed over the years from Mudeye to Moody and that they came from England. There was even a relative who saved a princess from the Tower of London.
Judy being her usual self, takes this to mean that her distant relative must have been a prince and that must make her royalty – All hail Queen Judy!
Have fun with Judy and her friends as she gets used to being a Queen.
This is the third book in the Judy Moody series that I have reviewed and they have all been excellent reads and great fun. With currently thirteen books in the series, plus a spin-off called Stink (Judy’s little brother) and a movie too, readers will have a lot to get through and keep them interested.
As per usual with these books amongst the story there are snippets of factual information. These books are for the more confident reader. The font is larger than what you find in books for adults and there are also black and white illustrations throughout which have been exquisitely drawn.
For children looking for something fun and interesting to read this series is just perfect. Judy gets up to something completely different in each book and she is a wonderful, enjoyable character to spend your time with.

Below you will see that I wrote my first review for this book in August of 2018. At that time the kid I am reading with was not even two yet. Past me had no idea that in the future I would get to reread with J. Another 5-star read!
You know what comes next. J and I both pick our favorite chapters. I always let J pick first. His favorite was 'High Royal Tea Party' with a right royal tea party in the T.P. tent. Jessica Finch is the brill party planner and the party is the bee's knees. They play what's in the queen's purse and have a race with windup toys. The book ends with everything being spot-on and Tickety-boo.
My choice was 'Dear Your Majesty' and Judy writes a letter to QE II. She includes a list of ten questions like: "True or false: you like to eat eel pie," "Is your crown heavy?," and "How does it feel to be on a sugar packet?"Brill!
First review from August of 2018:
This latest installment in the Judy Moody saga is right on point. With the royal wedding happening earlier this year and the latest ABC/People Magazine special on The Royals, there is a heightened awareness of the royal family. Loved the lessons Judy learned in this one about making new friends and not being a Hooray Henrietta. Fun glossary of British sayings at the end of the book. Smashing!
A big thank you to Candlewick Press and NetGalley for a digital ARC of this book.

Book #14 Judy Moody and the Right Royal Tea Party has this capricious 8 year old ramped up because she grasps onto the information that one of her ancestors was British and rescued someone from the Tower of London. She jumps from that information to the idea of having royal blood flowing through her veins and onto the regal perch of Queen. This is the mood of her day and the goal is to make everything royal purple.
Her purple queenly follows her into her third grade classroom and the family tree project. The story is cute. Judy Moody is a lively little girl who gets an idea and "runs with it" where it totally encompasss her life.
I received a complimentary ARC of this book that will be purblished in September to facilitate a review. It is a brand new story of this delightful girl. While the Advanced Reader's Copy was not finalized, it was so cute and holds such promise of a delightful read for girls. Opinions are my own and are freely given.

Judy Moody becomes a queen for a day. It was such a cute, fun book for young children to read. They get to learn British words, some history and a day in the life of royalty. The illustrations were wonderful. Greatly depicted what was going on in the story. I had a few laughs with the words used and Judy Moody's funny actions. First book I read of Judy moody and enjoyed the plot, characters and adventures.

Judy Moody was one of my daughter's favorites. It was weird and sweet to read Judy's return as my daughter is in high school. It actually made me wonder what Judy would be like as a high schooler.
In this new tale Judy is just as we left her - impulsive, self-centered, and hilarious.
Judy gets the notion that she may be part of the English monarchy. She writes to the Queen (and receives a response!) and begins to align her life with what she imagines royalty would do. It isn't a Judy Moody tale without conflict that forces Judy to apologize to someone. She realizes that her relatives may not quite be royalty.
What I like the best about Judy is that she often does something that requires an apology, even if it is to herself. Since these books are meant for kids ages 6-8, it is great to have a beloved character who loves with full passion, sometimes gets carried away, but does end up handling things with grace.
Welcome back, Judy!

I received a free eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an open and honest review.
I grew up reading the Judy Moody books so I was extremely excited when this was made available to me through NetGalley. I just couldn't resist seeing if the books are still as great as they seemed when I was a child. I really loved this book and would recommend it to kids everywhere.
One part that really stood out to me was when Judy was listing the women rulers on her "Women Rulers ruler" and the women were SO diverse. I even had to look some of them up because I was so unfamiliar of who they were and what they accomplished. McDonald could have easily just listed basic white queens from around Europe that we are all taught about in school, but she decided to bring up female leaders from more diverse parts of the world. I just thought it was really neat and pushes children to learn about world history, not just American and European. Along with that, there were many different spots in the book where the author would reference different cultures. I just thought it was great! There was so much to learn in this book, even I had to Google search a couple different references (like, honestly, I had no idea what the Star of India was! Now I know!). There's also a "Guide to British Sayings" in the back of the book that is so fun to reference.
The second half of the book wasn't super exciting to me. I kind of skimmed through it super quickly because it just wasn't drawing me in like the first half. Overall though, I thought it was good. I liked the writing, thought it was funny and extremely informative, and while the illustrations are still in draft I thought they were cute and spaced perfectly. It's good to know books like this are still out there for kids and I feel fortunate to have been gifted a free e-ARC.

The Judy Moody series of books is certainly growing on me and this new edition is another great book to add to the collection. Judy’s class is researching family trees, and when Judy finds out a key piece of information she’s excited that she might just be related to royalty! But the family tree might just hold another branch, one which Judy’s not so happy to learn about.
The paperback is smaller than A5 in size and is filled with larger text along with illustrations on many of the pages. I like how familiar the Judy Moody books are. When Judy first discovers a secret in her family tree she’s excited and goes over the top in believing she is royalty. I like how excited Judy is and how this book connects with Britain, letting British readers feel a bit more connected to the series. I don’t want to give too much away but like with the other books in the series, Judy’s mood changes when she learns another truth about her family tree, one which she regrets.
The format of all the books is very simple, but it does work and I like the way the story feels so familiar. I like the way Judy is so passionate about her family tree and many kids can relate to the excitement of finding out things about their families, but the way that the story ends is as always great, because despite some disappointments, Judy finds out that things are actually pretty good and it all ends happily.
The illustrations are as always very fun, with many images taking up a whole page in the book. Each picture is in black, white and grey and show the character’s expressions well. I also liked the way the handwritten letters looked. The images definitely make the story more fun to read.
I like this book and you can read it as a stand alone, but I think it will appeal more if you read at least the first Judy Moody book to understand how Judy and her friends are, and some of the language that she uses, for example words like ‘Rare’ and ‘Roar’, might not make sense if you haven’t read any books in the series before. It’s a very fun book and the nod to the Queen and Britain is a fun extra.

In this book, Judy discovers that she is related to the queen of England and gets excited about it. She wants to celebrate this royal connection with her friends and plans a Right Royal Tea Party. But things don't go as planned, especially when she discovers she's also related to her worst enemy, Jessica Finch.
Judy's character is full of energy and imagination, and her enthusiasm is contagious. Her creativity shines through in how she plans the tea party and her efforts to make the occasion royal. The book is also filled with interesting and informative facts about England's history and culture, which adds an educational element to the story.
What I liked about this book is that it shows how unexpected things can happen and how we should embrace them with an open mind and a positive attitude. Even though Judy's tea party doesn't go exactly as planned, she still has a great time and learns much about herself and her family history.
Overall, "Judy Moody and the Right Royal Tea Party" is a fun and engaging book for young readers. It's a great addition to the Judy Moody series and a fantastic way to learn about history and culture in an entertaining way.

Judy Moody has to make a family tree for third grade. While working with her Grandma Lou, Judy finds out she is related to royalty. Judy thinks she finally has a way to top her nemesis, Jessica Finch. Judy's family visits a local castle and GASP who does Judy see none other than Jessica. Will Jessica overshadow Judy once again?
My school kids love Judy Moody and have gotten me reading her antics. I absolutely love her imagination. I hope with my kids reading her that they learn how to use their imagination. I would love to use this book as a tie-in with a class family tree project and maybe a writing project of someone in their family tree.
Little girls of elementary school age will love reading Judy's adventures in royalty.

Another Judy episode - with royal connections.
Not so much 'moody' in this book, Judy here finds out she might be related in the distant past, to the British royal family. Preparing to share this knowledge and her family tree with her class, she also tries to organise a royal tea party to celebrate her heritage, but also finds she learns a few things along the way...
With some depth to the character, these stories do follow a fairly well-trodden and predictable path, with a smart-alec little brother, a rival at school, a bit of a pig-headed heroine who needs a little clarity.
It's all very American, with slang terms I have never heard used in the UK, and the British history isn't quite accurate but the story will appeal to preteen girls. Unchallenging reading but interesting and entertaining stories of friendship and family.
For ages 8-11.
With thanks to Walker Books for the sample reading copy.

SPOILERS
2nd-grade reading level
Contemporary realistic fiction
I enjoyed this book. I think this would be a great book to include in my classroom. I loved how Judy and her classmates were looking into their family trees and discovering their family history. I think this is a great book that urges students to discover where they came from and to be proud of their past. I also love that this book promotes imagination and action (ex: Judy writing the queen). I know many second graders who love queens and princesses and I think this book would suit their reading desires very accurately. One thing that set me off about this book was when Judy tried not to invite one of her classmates to her party. However, later in the story, Judy becomes closer to the other character and reveals the value of friendship which is a great lesson for my future students.

I enjoy the Stink and Moody Judy stories as do many of the children I work with. I've been a fan of Megan McDonald since before she began writing this series! Still love Is This A House For Hermit Crab story! I use it for preschool story time all summer! McDonald writes such timely stories! The Zombie Walk one was fun a few years back and tied in nicely zombies for younger kids. Now with all the family tree and DNA testing, this book will fit right in and maybe get the kids interested in their own family trees! I also enjoyed the British glossary and guide to sayings at the end of the book! Nice touch! Add a little culture and language to the mix of genealogy. great story! Love the series!

(9 Year old Review of the book)
How can someone not like Judy moody books. They are the best. I think it was super funny, and I liked Judy the best but man what does she call her? hum nemesis Jessica is really mean. I really liked the book and I can't wait to read more of the books. Thank you to who gave the book to my mom and for me to read. I love Judy Moody she is funny, and likes to have fun and I like reading.
Mom's turn
The story is perfect for 6-11 year old girls to read. It is under 200 pages but your girls will love the story and be able to connect with the different characters and what they are going though.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Candlewick Press for the advance copy of Megan McDonald Judy Moody and the Right Royal tea party

[I received an electronic review copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.]
Judy's imagination really takes off in this story where Judy's family tree project has her convinced that she is related to the Queen of England. I enjoyed the family tree projects that were described in the book (this would be a great tie in for a class that is going to do a similar project) and the discovery that Judy makes when the full story of her ancestor is finally told. The tea party pieces could be a lot of fun for readers who enjoy hosting their own tea parties or as a tie in for a tea party-party.

I enjoyed the family tree projects that were described in the book (this would be a great tie in for a class that is going to do a similar project) and the discovery that Judy makes when the full story of her ancestor is finally told. The tea party pieces could be a lot of fun for readers who enjoy hosting their own tea parties or as a tie in for a tea party-party.

Judy Moody becomes a Queen in this new story.
I had never read a Judy Moody book before this one, and I enjoyed it. Judy is a quirky, funny girl. She reminded me of Junie B. Jones, who was one of my favourite characters when I was a kid.
I liked the plot of this story. Judy has to do a family tree project for school, which I remember doing too. It was surprising that Judy’s grandmother could trace their family back to Queen Elizabeth I! It encouraged Judy to explore her royal roots and become a queen herself.
I really enjoyed this story. It would be great for middle grade readers!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher on NetGalley.

May 8, 2020This is the book I picked for the chapter book section of my children's literature class and I used to love this series as a kid! I never got around to reading this one, since I think it was around the age range I grew out of, but it is just as fun to read as an adult. Judy feels very realistic as a child character, her flaws are prominent, but I also felt like I knew someone like her when I was younger. If I ever end up having a kid, I'd probably have this series on their shelf.

Judy Moody thinks she's royalty in this entertaining book that contains many facts about England and British royalty. I didn't think this book was as humorous as some of the past books but it was still enjoyable. I appreciated the way the book ended, though it was slightly predictable.

I like to do family history, so my biggest concern with this book is that if Judy and Jessica never tell anyone that they're related, Grandma Lou will never find out why Mudeye was in the Tower of London! 😂

Mr. Todd's class has to make family trees. I didn't like this one as much because it seemed too outlandish to have Jessica Finch and Judy be related, and the ending was incomplete with Just never giving her presentation to the class.

This one felt like a step back for Judy in terms of character development. She was just kind of annoying. Jessica Finch stands out as the nicer character and the resolution was a little trite. Still love the series and writing, but this one wasn't as good as some of the stronger ones.

This is by far my favorite Judy Moody! I think it would make for a smashing good read aloud!
