W
hen my sons were young, I found it hard to find engaging chapter books for them. Megan McDonald's
Not-So-Lucky Lefty: Judy Moody and Friends
, brightly illustrated by Erwin Madrid, has instant appeal.
I
t has three chapters -
Lucky Lefty and Mighty Righty
;
Pretzilla
; and
The Ultimate Left-Handed High-Flying Hole in One
. Siblings will immediately relate to the rivalry and banter between right-handed Judy and her little, left-handed brother Stink.
T
he first part is all about a thumb war - Judy dispute's Stink's win, while her brother extols the virtues of left handedness. Finally, Judy agrees '
to be left-handed for one whole entire day.
' It's quite the challenge when they visit a pretzel shop, but they are awarded for their
Pretzilla
.
T
hey win a game of
goony golf
as a prize. After a successions of failed shots, Judy does hit a hole in one - can you guess where it lands?
Not-So-Lucky Lefty
is great fun for early readers, especially if they have siblings or are left-handed!
