Book Review: Judy Moody Was In A Mood by Megan McDonald

Judy Moody Was In A Mood was written by Megan McDonald and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. This book was published by Walker Books, and was first published in 2001.

In this book, Judy Moody and class 3 have a project to work on. It's called a 'me collage'. But will Judy Moody finish it in time for the deadline at the end of September, or will she get into trouble because her little 'bother', Stink, messed it all up?

My favourite character in this book was Frank Pearl as he wasn't really as bad as Judy thought. He also had an amazing collection of all types of things and he had a funny personality.

I would rate this book 10 out of 10 as  it is funny, interesting and exciting, all at the same time.

I would reccomend this book to nine year olds as it is a quick, amusing read that they can enjoy fully, especially if they have good reading skills.

I hope that you enjoyed this book review and are looking forward to the next one!

Podcasted Book Review: Photography For Kids by Sandra Abent and Michael Ebert

Today I am reviewing Photography For Kids by Sandra Abend and Michael Ebert, two German authors.

I really liked this book as it gave me very detailed but simple steps that I could understand easily, so that I could learn how to use a camera in no time at all.

If you would like to buy this book, remember that the publisher is rockynook and that the ISBN number is: 978-1-933952-76-5.

I hope you liked my joint podcast with Krishna De, who adults can learn more about at BizGrowth News.

Book Review - Blue Lavender Girl: Author - Judy May

Blue Lavender Girl was published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. in 2006.

In BLG, Tia, a grumpy and misunderstood teenager, is sent away to her Auntie Maisie in the 'middle of nowhere' countryside for the summer.

Can she get over gothic black clothes and overapplied make-up so that she can settle for a six week vacation with the only adult who seems to understand her and hardly any friends to keep her company?

The character I liked most in the story was Jackson because when Tia first met him he seemed spiteful, but when she got to know him a bit better, he was really an adventurous and kind person at heart.

I would rate Blue Lavender Girl 10 out of 10 as it is a wonderful story about how you can turn you'r life upside down in a good way when you think you are useless or dull, and it is funny at times as well as a bit emotional.

I would recommend this book for 12-15 year olds as it is a book for older and more avid readers.

I found BLG in Tallaght library, and you can find it in local libraries or good bookstores near you.

Are you a fan of Judy May? Then you should read Copper Girl, another good book for older readers!

Thanks for reading my latest book review, and I will be back soon with further info about great books and interesting events!
