Judy Moody Goes to College - Megan Mcdonald [14]
She peered at the image in the camera. Next to her and all around her were Kate and Richard and Stink; Rocky, Frank, Jessica Finch, and the rest of Class 3T; Professor Todd and Chloe; even peeps Bethany Wigmore and Paul the Drummer.
In the very center, right in front of her Not-Horrible-Mention painting, stood Judy herself, smiling from ear to ear.
If that picture were a painting, she, Judy Moody, would give it a name. Portrait of the Artist with the ’Rents, the Professor, the College Tutor, a Few Peeps, and the Geck, with Shadows, Deluxe Edition.
It was only a split-second, one-sixtieth-of-a-minute, a giga-flip-flop moment in Judy Moody’s own personal game of life, but it felt big. She, Judy Moody, was filled with glad-i-tude.
