Bookroo's summary

Judy Moody takes on a daring challenge: to be the Queen of the Good Mood for a whole week. As she swaps her usual moodiness for smiles and neatness, her friends start to wonder if this cheerful Judy is the real deal or an imposter. Can Judy maintain her sunny disposition, or will her true self resurface? Dive into this playful adventure and discover if Judy can truly change her stripes, or if her friends' suspicions are right.

From the publisher

It’s Backwards Day, so Judy Moody double-dares herself to become Queen of the Good Mood for one whole week. Can she do it? Will the real Judy Moody please stand up? In honor of Backwards Day, Judy Moody decides to turn that frown upside down, make lemonade out of lemons, and be nice to stinky little brothers. In fact, Judy becomes a NOT moody, cool-as-a-cucumber neat freak for one whole entire day. But when her combed hair, matching outfits, and good moods hang around for days after, her friends begin to worry. Could this smiley Judy be an imposter?
