Part of the Judy Moody series
A third-grader discovers she is related to a queen and decides to throw a royal tea party.
Judy Moody is on a quest to uncover her family's royal roots, with dreams of a connection to the Queen. With Grandma Lou's help, she finds evidence linking the Moodys to merry old England. But as her family tree shakes, unexpected secrets emerge, threatening her regal fantasies. Can Judy keep these revelations hidden, especially from her rival, Jessica Finch? Dive into a tale of heritage, humor, and hidden truths as Judy navigates the ups and downs of her royal discovery.
Jolly smashing! Could the Moodys really have royal blood? Judy brings her new look to a comical episode about the ups and downs of exploring a family tree. Judy Moody is in a royal purple-mountain-majesties mood. Make that Majesty with a capital M! With Grandma Lou’s help, Judy has dug up proof that some old-timey Moodys (aka the brave Mudeyes) lived in merry olde England. In fact, if her grandpa’s notes are right, Judy might even be related to – royal fanfare, please – the Queen herself! Should Judy start packing her purple robe for a sleepover at Buckingham Palace? But then Judy’s family tree gets a few more shakes – thanks to her nemesis, Jessica “Fink” Finch – and some more surprises come tumbling out. Crikey! These new gems are not nearly as shiny or sparkly as the crown jewels. Now Judy has some right royal family secrets she’d like to keep hidden away in a dungeon somewhere – and especially away from Jessica, the princess in pink herself!
