“Judy took the penny from her pocket. The smiling horseshoe had become an upside-down frown, ROAR. Good-bye, good luck penny. Hello, bad luck charm. “
After getting a “lucky penny” while on vacation with her grandmother, Judy Moody has a run of good luck, including beating “the claw” and bowling three strikes in a row. But when Judy’s lucky penny takes a dive into the toilet, she’s convinced her luck has turned from good to gross. As always, Judy Moody is an entertaining read for both boys and girls alike as she navigates the rough waters of third grade and growing up. 176 pages
