"Judy Moody Gets Famous" starts off with a Spelling Bee Queen Bee, Jessica Finch. Well, if Jessica can be famous so can she, thinks Judy. She tries to get her picture in the Moody Hall of Fame on the refridgerator but can't find anything newsworthy to tape up there.
Her teacher, Mr. Todd, suggests Judy could become famous for getting along with him, if she'd just be a better student, after she gets in trouble again.
She does well in Science class when the very-interesting-to-her mealworms are passed out for study, until she accidentally lets one fly from the eraser on her pencil onto Jessica Finch. Oh oh. This gets Jessica into trouble initially but Judy is honest and owns up...and learns what "infamous" means.
The book is very good on providing humourous opposition to her plan for achieving fame and the suspense builds.
This book is number two in the series written by Megan McDonald and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds about Judy. I liked this one as much as the first book in the series and enjoyed the way it wittily ties in with the first book, "Judy Moody".
I read "Judy Moody Gets Famous" in two sittings. It is an easy read and also very funny, like the first book.
