01 No More Snoresville

MEGAN McDONALD JUDU MOODY

No More Snoresville L.D.O.S.! Last Day of School! The countdown: only 27 minutes, 17 seconds, and 9 milliseconds until... SUMMER! No more S-for-Snoresville summers. She, Judy Moody, was going to have the best summer ever. RARE! Judy passed a note to Rocky before Mr. Todd came back. To: Rocky, Frank, and Amy Namey What: T.P. Club meeting When: After school! Where: Moody backyard: T.P. Club tent

Be there or be a SquarePants Rocky flicked the note to Frank. Mr. Todd came into the room carrying a stack of papers. He had his GOT MUSIC cap on— backwards! He blinked the lights to get everyone's attention. Frank popped the note into his mouth. "Pop quiz!" said Mr. Todd. Class 3T groaned. "Just think: it's your last test on the last day of school." "Aw! Nah-uh! Bad one!" everybody moaned. "No way," said Frank. The note shot out of his mouth and landed smack-dab in the middle of Rocky's desk. Slobber City! "Gross!" yelled Rocky. Mr. Todd passed out the quizzes. Mr. Todd cleared his throat. "Question number one: How

many times did I wear a purple tie to school this year?" Everybody shouted answers. "Ten!" "Twenty-seven!" "One hundred!" "Four!" "Never!" called Jessica Finch. "Never is correct!" said Mr. Todd. "Number two: How long did it take our class to go around the world?" "Eight days!" said Frank. "Eight and a half days," said Judy. "Too easy. Let's skip ahead. Here's one. This is big. Really big. We're talking MUCHO GRANDE!" "Tell us!" everybody shouted.

"Can anyone— that means YOU, Class 3T— guess what I, your teacher, Mr. Todd, will be doing THIS SUMMER?" "Working at the Pickle Barrel Deli?" asked Hunter. "I saw you there." "That was last summer," said Mr. Todd. "But this summer, if you find me, you win a prize." "We need a clue," said Judy. "Give us a clue." "Clue! Clue! Clue! Clue! Clue!" yelled the class. "Okay, okay. Let me think. The clue is... COLD." Mr. Todd hugged himself, pretending to shiver. "Brrr." Jackson waved his hand. "Refrigerator salesperson!" "Snow-remover guy!" said Jordan. "Polar-bear tamer!" said Anya.

Judy thought and thought. Her eyes landed on the Antarctica poster tacked to the bulletin board. "Ooh! Ooh! I got it! You're going to Antarctica. The real one." "No, no, nope, and nope," said Mr. Todd. Brring! Just then the final bell rang. Class 3T went wild. "See you next year," said Mr. Todd. "Unless we see you this summer!" some of the kids yelled. "Bye, Mr. Todd," Judy called, zooming out the door. "Stay warm." "Stay Judy!" Mr. Todd called after her.
