This time around, Judy learns the FABULOUSNESS of being a college student, but that no one likes a know-it-all either. It was fun watching Judy really get into her studies and the creative ways her tutor helped her grasp the concepts was A in my book. After all, what better way to get someone into learning than making it fun?

When her substitute teacher realizes she is struggling in math, Judy is sent to a math tutor at the local college and soon is completely into the spirit of college life. Book #8

Judy Moody could be a little of a brat when she comes back from college but she does learn to love math because of her tutor. I thought that the students all aspiring to go to college was great and Judy's art class painting was something I wish I could have done in college. I just wish her attitude could have been better or improved like it has been in the last books I've read after she learned about something. ( )

The central message of Judy Moody Goes to College is that a positive attitude results in a positive outcome. In the beginning of the book, Judy has a bad “math-i-tude,” a negative attitude towards math. As a result, her performance in math declines. Judy’s substitute teacher, Mrs. Grossman, sends a note home informing her parents that she needs “extra-special help.” After much discussion, Judy’s parents decide to hire a math tutor for her. Judy is horrified, despite their assurance that being tutored will be an enjoyable experience. She believes her brother Stink, who tells her she will be subjected to flash cards, bead counting, and macaroni gluing. When Judy discovers she will be tutored by a college student, however, she immediately becomes excited. It does not take long for Judy to realize that Chloe, her tutor, is extremely cool, and that math can be fun. Chloe is an unending source of purely pleasurable math-related games and projects. Judy is enthusiastic about counting the different colors of VW Beetles in the college parking lot and then graphing them in the appropriate hues. As the story progresses, Judy’s bad math-i-tude turns into a positive attitude and her math skills improve. When Judy’s teacher, Mr. Todd, returns, he announces that he will be passing out a quiz to see where everybody is in math. The entire class, except for Judy groans. Judy wanted to take the quiz and show Mr. Todd all that she has learned from working with her tutor. Judy “owned” her math quiz and ended up getting only one question wrong. Judy’s positive attitude reinforced a positive outcome. ( )

This book is about Judy Moody. The series begins while she is in third grade, but now she is in college. This book is good for grades 3 or 4. The lesson that is in this book is good to introduce to students. Such as going to tutoring if you need extra help. Also, another one is the transition into something different. Each of the students in the class is going to transition into a different grade and need to be prepared for the changes. I highly recommend this book. ( )

Light and humorous reading. Judy becomes enamored of college life and its freedoms (compared to 3rd grade) when she is tutored in math by Chloe, an uber-cool college student. Judy makes the most of her "college experience," even becoming part of college's art show. ( )

Judy Moody continues her journey through the third grade, but this time, she has to go to college. Judy Moody's mean substitute teacher decides that she needs some extra help in math, so Judy Moody's parents find her a tutor. This puts Judy Moody in a mood, until she meets her tutor and realizes that she gets to spend some time in college! She learns how much better the cafeteria is in college, how people get to study in coffee shops, and how much fun math can be! Her peers in her class don't like how much Judy Moody talks about college, however. Her friends start to get annoyed with her, and eventually, they want to get bad grades in math so that they can go to college with her. Judy Moody learns that when it is her time, she will be a real college student, but until then, she is happy in the third grade, but still happy with her newly made college friend. ( )

Fun, fast-paced early chapter book about a third-grade girl who gets math tutoring from a college student. It's pretty accurate about what college is like (at least, all the parts of it you could get away with in a book for this age group), something a lot of kids might be curious about. Adorable illustrations. The heavy slang use might result in this one aging badly, though they somewhat get around this with a melange of 90s and 00s slang and some phrases that are unique to the protagonist.

Best line: Judy has to bring a note home to her parents about her poor performance in math, so she tears off the worst part. When they ask her about it, she explains "I rounded down." ( )

Probably the best Joody Moody book! I would recommend it too kids in the range of 7-10. Maybe higher!

this book is about a little girl named judy moody that gets tutored by a high schooler. judy changes the way she dresses, what she says and how she says it. This high shcooler teaches her math, clothes and excessories. At the end of the book she does not wanna leave the tutorer.Her brother (Stink) wanted a boy tutorer to teach him how to be cool also. One of the things she started wearing a skirt over her pants and sunglasses and other weird stuff. I rated this book 2 1/2 because i like the other judy moody books more than this one. ( )

I hate math ( )

Judy Moody Goes to College is a good transition book. All of the Judy Moody books have different events too like: Judy Moody was in a mood, gets famous, saves the world, predicts the future, and Declares Independence. All have a different meaning that are interesting to children. I believe that this book is on a second or third grade level. Children love to read about imagination activities, and be able to pretend. This book is great for imaginations and real world activities. ( )

When her substitute teacher realizes she is struggling in math, Judy is sent to a math tutor at the local college and soon is completely into the spirit of college life. ( )

Judy Moody does not enjoy Maths and is not happy that she is going to be tutored. When she realises that her tutor is at College this changes her outlook and she quickly learns the college jargon and starts to enjoy Maths. Written with a lot of humour. ( )

Judy Moody has a problem with math so she is sent to meet with a tutor to get a better understanding of the subject. Judy's tutor is in college so she gets to experience college life and this changes Judy's overall personality and she is not liked by some of her friends in the end becuase they think she has turned into a snob. This would be a great connector book for the classroom. ( )

Judy goes to college to get help from a tutor with math. When she goes back to her school, she tries to act like her college tutor. Most of her peers thinks she is crazy and snobbish. ( )

Judy Moody is a funny book that tells a story about the time she went to college. She needs help in math while her teacher is away and her parents get her a tutor that goes to college. Judy Moody plays games and has fun while learning with her new tutor. She even gets to spend a whole day with her doing college things.

When Judy Moody starts having trouble with math, she is sent to a tutor, who turns out to be an awesome college student. Judy's mood quickly changes from bad to glad as she not only learns math in interesting ways, but gets a taste of the college life with trips to the coffee house, a dorm room, a peace rally, and art class. She begins to adopt college slang, with occasional misunderstandings. She even starts teaching her brother and friends yoga... not yogurt. Some trouble arise, though, when Judy takes to bragging about her college experiences to her friends. The audio recording is mostly pleasant to listen to, except for younger brother Stink's voice, which is grating. Also, the reading of the end of book glossary seems rather pointless. Overall, this is a positive look at learning in a humorous story. ( )

this book shows how judy moody changes after she does bad on a math test and goes on a college campus for a college tutor. ( )

Judy Moody is in a mood. Not a good mood. And defi nitely NOTa math mood. Class 3T’s substitute teacher thinks Judy’s math skills need improving. So Judy has to start meeting with a math tutor. Does this mean flash cards? Does this mean baby games? Does this mean school on weekends? But when Judy meets her tutor—a sick-awesome college student with an uber-funky sense of style — and gets a glimpse of college life, Judy’s bad math-i-tude turns into a radical glad-i-tude. Pretty soon, Judy’s not only acing her math class; she’s owning it. Say good-bye to Judy Moody, old skool third-grader, and say hello to Miss College! Small-tall upside-down backward non-fat capp with extra whip, anyone?

A story of a young girl named Judy Moody who after having a sub in her classroom decides not to pay attention during math. The sub concludes that she needs a tutor and after much resistance from Judy, assigns her to a a girl from college. Judy does not think she needs a tutor but soon realizes that her sessions with Chloe are not as bad as she thought. Chloe takes her to college coffee shops, plays life with her and teachers her about talking and dressing like a college student all the while teaching her about math. Chloe teaches her to make graphs and soon has Judy talking and acting like a college student. Judy takes it a little overboard as she insists on having everything like they do in college from the food to the math games. Chloe takes Judy to all sorts of events on campus and introduces her to her college roommate. Soon Judy's teacher returns and she is excited to show him all that she has learned. The whole class sits down and takes a test. After grading all of them, the teacher announces that Judy was the only person who passed! Judy is ecstatic for a few moments until the class reveals that they all failed on purpose because they wanted to go to college just like Judy did. The teacher tells them that he is going to take them to college to see Judy's art at the art show. At the art show, Judy wins a ribbon and the whole class congratulates her as they pose for a picture with her, her art and Chloe.

This is a good example of realistic fiction because it is about a 3rd grader becomes tutored by a college student which I could happen in real life.
