Synopsis

Hold on to your umbrella and stock up on marshmallows — Judy and Stink face wicked weather in their third full-color adventure.

Judy and Stink and the whole Moody family hunker down with beans and batteries, ready to wait out the storm. But along with massive rain and strong winds, Hurricane Elmer throws down ghosts, squirrels, and aliens. Spooky! Just when things couldn’t possibly get any freakier — flicker, flicker, gulp! — the lights go O-U-T out. The Moodys are smack-dab in the middle of a big bad blackout! Grandma Lou proposes musical board games and some good old-fashioned storytelling. Will Hurricane Elmer go down in Moody family history as bad news, a happy memory, or simply an LBS (Long Boring Story)?

Reviews

Gr 1–3—In this third, full-color installment in the series featuring the Moody siblings, a blackout encourages the whole familyto discover activities that don't require electricity.

With a hurricane headed toward her coastal community, Grandma Lou drives inland to stay with Judy, Stink, and their parents. Soon the lights go out, and school is canceled because of the storm, but the Moody clan pulls together with games, storytelling, and cooking over a fire. The family stories and scary tales told by the characters offer an unusual change of pace within the broader narrative. With its amusing story and color illustrations, this chapter book will please many transitional readers, even those reading the Judy Moody & Stink series for the first time. Grades 2-4. --Carolyn Phelan
