"When crime-dog-in-training Mr. Chips goes missing, Judy Moody, her friends, and her brother, Stink, find themselves smack-dab in the middle of an honest-to-jeepers real life whodunit! Agent Judy Drewdy is on the case!" --back cover

Judy is excited about becoming a doctor, especially when Class 3T starts a new unit on the human body, but she learns more about being a patient when she catches tonsillitis from her little brother, Stink.

"Stink may be super smart, but he’s been in the Polliwog swim class frog-ever and he still can’t bear to put his face in the water. But then something weird happens: Stink starts to see frogs everywhere. And when a freaky blue (possibly radioactive) frog licks his arm, his froggy senses start tingling! He has an urge to slurp up raisins (that look like flies). He can’t wait to play in the rain and mud. He’s a whiz at identifying frog calls....

After learning about slime molds during the Saturday Science Club, Stink finds the organism growing in his room and starting to take over the world.

Discovering Grandma Lou's mysterious "bucket list" of things that she wants to do in her lifetime, Judy Moody is inspired to create a list of her own goals, from learning to do a cartwheel to visiting Antarctica.

Third grader Judy Moody is in a first day of school bad mood until she gets an assignment to create a collage all about herself and begins creating her masterpiece, the Me collage.

"Judy Moody and her best friends are supposed to be working together on the class Around-the-World project, but how can they work as a team if they're not talking to one another? Does this spell trouble in paradiso? Oh, la la!" --back cover
