Judy Moody: Sunny-Side Up -- Megan McDonald, Hardcover

Sometimes you just have to find the good news, as Judy Moody discovers when she creates her very own newspaper--featured as a bonus at the end of the book.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! Mr. Todd has Class 3T looking for the Five Ws in the newspaper, but all Judy can see is how much bad news there is. Climate change! Deadly virus! Sea turtles endangered by straws stuck in their noses! The good news is that Judy is taking all the bad news as a call to action. She gets out her notebook, clicks her six-year pen, transforms into a Kid Reporter, and goes out in search of happier stories. Rare bird sighting in Virginia Beach! Escaped bearded dragon found! Plastic straws banned at Virginia Dare School! There's even a scoop that Judy overhears while ordering a scoop at Screamin' Mimi's--about someone who found real buried treasure. Kids intrigued by the first edition of Judy's Sunny-Side-Up News--offering stories, a word search, a comic, a recipe, and more--may just be inspired to create their own second edition. After all, there's no telling how much good news is out there until you start looking . . . and acting!
