Judy Moody & Stink: The Big Bad Blackout by Megan McDonald

Judy Moody and Stink: The Big Bad Blackout by Megan McDonald - 130 pages

Hurricane Elmer is coming and has knocked out the power at Judy and Stink's house.  What can they do for several days with no power?

I listened to this book on audio.  I enjoyed the story but did not care for the narrator.  The "voices" she chose for the various characters just did not seem to match them in my opinion.  Still, this would be a great book for kids to read.

Stink: The Incredible Shrinking Boy by Megan McDonald

Stink: The Incredible Shrinking Boy by Megan McDonald - 128 pages

Stink is the shortest person in his family.  He's the shortest kid in the second grade.  He's probably the shortest person in the whole world.  Then one day when he's measured, he's a quarter inch shorter.  Could he actually be shrinking?

I listened to this on audio as it was short and I was waiting for another audiobook to come in.  I actually thought it was pretty entertaining and good for a younger chapter book.  I have been recommending the Judy Moody series for years and I can definitely agree to recommending this series about her younger brother to all kids.
