Synopsis "Stink and the Ultimate Thumb-Wrestling Smackdown"

Stink needs a sport, fast! Can he wrestle a win at thumb wars? Or will a perfect karate kick lead him to victory? Hii-ya! Stink Moody, family brain, brings home a report card that isn't perfect? Yikes! Time for him to get into fighting shape and beat back that U for Unsatisfactory in PE! A scan of the sports channel leads to a knock-out find: world-class thumb wrestling, with tricky moves like Snake in the Grass and Santa's Little Helper (no equipment needed, save for a tiny terrifying mask to sit on your thumb). But when Mom and Dad are not wowed, Stink gets another idea: he'll kick and punch his way to a yellow belt with the help of a Dragon Master and a mind as still as a pond. Can you say Crouching Tiger, Hidden Thumb?

She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a house filled with books. She was the youngest of five sisters. Her father, who worked with iron for bridge construction, was a great storyteller. Every night, after dinner, the family spent a long time at the table where everyone talked about their day and told stories. With four older sisters, Megan McDonald could hardly get a word in, so she began to write. That's how her character Judy Moody was born.
