Judy Moody predicts the future / Megan McDonald / 146 pgs.

Judy eats seven bowls of cereal to FINALLY get her free Mood Ring.  With the Ring she tried to predicts her friends and families future.  As Judy discovers the ups and downs of her fortune telling career she starts to realize that by being observant and reading people's body language and mood is a better indicator of what is going on than relying on a mood ring or magic 8 ball.

Always funny, the Judy Moody series are quick, fun reads for kids.  As a character Judy is a bit hyper and still a little to focused on herself.  These flaws are what get her into trouble and sticky situations, but I like that by the end of each book Judy learns to look outside herself and consider others' feelings and that usually resolves things.  A good lesson for kids about friendships and behavior.
