Book Summary

Judy Moody is inspired by her class's study of the rainforest and decides she wants to save the world. She embarks on various environmental projects, from recycling bottle caps and saving plastic bags to trying to prevent a tree from being cut down. Her enthusiastic, and sometimes extreme, efforts often involve her friends and family, especially her brother Stink, and teach her that even small actions can make a difference.
