Judy Moody Doll and Books
Judy Moody’s lovely creator, Megan McDonald, was in Dublin yesterday to celebrate the launch of her new book, Judy Moody Goes to College.
I met her in a tres chic restaurant called ‘The Saddle Club’ in the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin city centre. She was wearing a blue shirt and darling blue and pink earrings and she has such a lovely warm smile I instantly liked her. The dinner was attended by booksellers, teachers, librarians and the wonderful Jo and Conor from Walker, and everyone had a ball. Great food – I had crab, risotto with foam (which tasted like stock cubes – weird), and delicious ice cream.
She’s even read Amy Green, isn’t that amazing?! I was thrilled – I’m such a big fan of her books and it meant a lot to me that she liked Amy.
Her new book, The Sister Club is out in May – look out for it, I’ve just started reading it and it’s fab. Just like Megan.
I do love being a children’s reviewer - what a job! I’ll post a sneak preview review of The Sister Club really soon.
