Review:
This is the third title in the Judy Moody series, featuring the spunky heroine in a quest to save the world. After Judy Moody learns about the environment at school she makes it her mission to educate her family and her classmates on recycling, reusing and being kind to the planet. In true Judy Moody fashion, she tends to go a bit overboard in her attempts, but in the end all is well as Judy comes up with a wonderful idea for her class to help save the rain forest. There's also a secondary storyline involving her brother Stink and a band-aid design contest.

Opinion:
This series is suited for tweens on the younger end of the spectrum, and while I'm not the biggest fan of Judy Moody (I personally prefer Babymouse for a funny read featuring a spunky heroine), kids do enjoy the series for its humor and readability.

Ideas:
For kids who are outgrowing Junie B. Jones but who still want a fun read featuring a strong female character, the Judy Moody books are a good next step.
