Judy Moody and Friends: Izzy Azumi, F.D.O. (Future Dog Owner)

Fellow F.D.O.s (future dog owners) will delight in Izzy’s quest to secure a furry best friend with help from pals Judy and Stink—and a mysterious letter writer.

Fluffy dogs. Scruffy dogs. Pug-faced dogs. Ugh-faced dogs. Izzy Azumi has dogs on the brain! She already has a goldfish, a South American pink-toe tarantula, and two human best friends. But fish can’t learn tricks, spiders can’t cuddle, and Stink and Judy just aren’t fuzzy enough. Will Izzy Azumi ever see her wish come true? All bets are off . . . until Izzy’s father invites a certain sibling pair to help stage a surprise for their friend. This latest entry in a series for fledgling readers will have younger Judy Moody fans—especially those who long for a dog of their own—yelping for joy.
