Judy Moody wakes up on April 1st with two things on her mind. First, it's April Fools' Day, one of her absolute favorite days of the year. Second, it's her birthday. She has the perfect prank ready for her teacher Mr. Todd, thanks to a fantastic gift from her brother Stink. She can already picture his surprised face when her trick works. The classroom buzzes with April Fools' energy as students share stories about spaghetti trees, April fish, and sending people on wild goose chases. But as the day progresses, Judy starts to panic. What if Mr. Todd and her classmates in 3T are so caught up in pranks that they completely forget her special day? The thought makes her stomach drop. Will her friends remember her birthday before the day ends, or will she become the biggest fool of all? Meanwhile, Mr. Todd seems to have his own mysterious plans brewing.
