Bookroo's summary

Judy Moody feels left out as her left-handed brother Stink and Dad celebrate Left Handers Day. To join their adventure at the pretzel factory, Judy must become a lefty for a day. Can she handle the challenge and prove her adaptability, or will she find herself tangled in a world designed for southpaws? Discover the hilarity and surprises as Judy steps into a left-handed life, testing her creativity and resilience in unexpected ways.

From the publisher

Left-handers are creative. Left-handers are geniuses. Half of all cats are lefties! (Or so says Stink.) But Judy is a righty . . . and Judy is feeling left out. Tomorrow is Left Handers Day, and Stink and Dad, the southpaws in the Moody family, are celebrating at the pretzel factory. Judy is allowed to come along on one condition: she has to be lefthanded—the whole entire day. It’s on
