Judy Moody Around the World in 8 1/2 Days Read Online Free PDF

too late. We waited till after three o’clock and Frank and Jessica Finch went home. And tell her we Q-U-I-T quit.
    STINK:He Q-U-I-T quits.
    JUDY:Stink, please tell Rocky he can’t quit because if we don’t do our project, we won’t make it around the world in eight days. Does he want to ruin it for everybody? For Class 3V too? Does he want us to F-L-U-N-K?
    STINK:Do you want to flunk and ruin it for everybody?
    ROCKY:You already ruined it. I mean, tell Judy she already ruined it. If we flunk, it will be all her fault.
    STINK:Rocky says —
    JUDY:Tell him I’m super, super sorry. I got all mixed up with my two watches ’cause one was on Italy time, but I’m here now, aren’t I?
    ROCKY:Tell Judy it’s not just about forgetting the practice today. She quit us, her best friends, for Amy Rhymey. Tell her we can rhyme too.

    Rocky handed a piece of notebook paper to Stink.
    ROCKY:Here, read this.

    JUDY:Read it, Stink. Let’s hear it.
    STINK:I think you should pay me a quarter if I have to read stuff, too.
    JUDY:Just read it!
    STINK:My name is Frank.
    You can call me Frank the Tank.
    When Judy didn’t show up for practice,
    It really stank.
    ROCKY:Not that one. This one.
    STINK:My name is Rocky.
    I like hockey.
    Really it’s the only thing
    That rhymes with Rocky.
    I don’t feel too talky.
    Don’t mean to be rudey —
    I’m just mad at my friend
    Judy Snooty.
    STINK:Judy Snooty! That’s a good one.
    JUDY:Hardee-har-har.
    STINK:Wait! There’s one more:
    My name is Stink.
    I’m not a fink,
    If that’s what you think.
    I just want a quarter —
    JUDY:Stink! You just made that up.
    ROCKY:Tell her Frank and I are quitting her.
    JUDY:Fine.
    ROCKY:Fine.
    STINK:Judy’s not doing the dance all by herself!
    JUDY:Stink, tell Rocky I did not say that. I’ll do the dance myself.
    STINK:You can’t! How are you going to do a spider dance yourself? A spider has eight legs! You need four people.
    JUDY:Stink! Just tell him.
    STINK:She’ll do the dance herself.
    ROCKY:Stink, ask her why doesn’t she just get her New Best Friend, Amy Same-Samey, to do the dance with her?
    STINK:Ha! That’s a good one! Judy, did you hear —
    JUDY:Ha, ha — so funny I forgot to laugh. Stink, please tell Rocky I can’t do the dance myself because he has the old record of the tarantella from his grandma. And tell him he has the old record player, too.
    ROCKY:Ha! So now you want to be friends again, huh? Because you need something.
    STINK:Rocky says —
    JUDY:Stink, ask Rocky, Will he at least bring the stuff to school?
    ROCKY:Um . . .
    STINK:He said um.
    JUDY:Um, he’ll bring it? Or, Um, he’s thinking about it?
    STINK:Rocky, what does um mean?
    ROCKY:Um thinking! Get it?
    STINK:I think he’s thinking.
    JUDY:Tell him I’m looking at BOTH my watches, and he has ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven —
    ROCKY:Tell her I’ll bring the record and record player, but I won’t do the dance.
    JUDY:Fine.
    STINK:She said fine.
    ROCKY:Fine.
    STINK:He said fine.
    JUDY:Fine.
    STINK:I can’t believe I’m not getting paid for this!

On Monday, when Judy got to school, she went to talk to Mr. Todd first thing.
    “Mr. Todd,” said Judy, “you know how we’re going around the world in eight days?”
    “Yes,” said Mr. Todd.
    “And you know how my group is supposed to do Italy?”
    “Is there a problem?” asked Mr. Todd.
    “Kind of. I mean, yes. We can’t do Italy. Or any country.”
    “I’m sorry to hear that,” said Mr. Todd. “Because not just our class, but Class 3V, too, is counting on going around the world in eight days. And we can’t go around the world without Italy.”
    “It’s sort of my fault,” said Judy. “I missed a practice for the tarantella and Rocky and Frank and Jessica got mad and —”
    “I’d like you to try to work this out yourselves,” said Mr. Todd. “Just do your best, okay?”
    “I’ll try,” said Judy. “Jessica came up with something she’ll do herself, but I know Rocky and Frank, and they can stay
