Judy Moody and Friends: Rocky Zang in The Amazing Mr. Magic

Description

Abracadabra! Kalamazoo! Rocky and Judy astound and amaze in the Greatest Backyard Magic Show on Earth! Rocky is perfecting the tricks for his magic show when Judy Moody offers to be his assistant. Rocky agrees, but it turns out that Judy - or Stella the Spectacular as she calls herself - is the most UN-spectacular assistant ever. When she gets ketchup all over the magic rabbit, the Amazing Mr. Magic has had enough! Is Rocky's magic good enough to mend his and Judy's friendship? From Megan McDonald comes a Judy Moody story just right for newly independent readers.
