Ever since Grandma gave Judy a lucky penny, nothing can go wrong-- she's able to get the stuffed animal prize in the claw game, she finds $10, she even bowls a turkey at the bowling alley! But all that changes when the penny gets dropped in the toilet. Afterwards, Judy can't seem to find

ANY good luck. She was so looking forward to going to Washington, DC as the third-grade winner of the spelling bee, but after the penny fiasco, Judy loses to Jessica Finch! Even when Judy finds out that her family is going to go along so that Judy can babysit Jessica's pet pig, Judy almost loses the pig. But Judy slowly realizes that good luck is out there, lucky penny or not, if she only keeps an eye out for it. A solid addition to the Judy Moody series.

A cute 3rd grade level book. Good for working on fluency.

Little Miss Moody thinks she's on a roll when Lady Luck seems to be going her way...until it isn't, turning her lucky penny into a toilet-water-soaked (don't ask) disappointment, bringing on the most bad mood of them all! Don't worry though because it's nothing a little adventure in pig-sitting and

a trip to our nation's capital can't fix in a hurry.
