Author Information
 Megan McDonald is the author of the award-winning JUDY MOODY series and numerous other books. She grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with four older sisters, and she says that most of the stories in Judy Moody "grew out of anecdotes about growing up with them." In fact, she says "Judy Moody is me...exaggerated!" She made Judy the oldest sister because she "wanted to see what it's like to be in charge!" Megan McDonald lives with her husband, two dogs, two adopted horses, and fifteen wild turkeys in Sebastopol, California.
 Peter Reynolds is an award-winning animator, artist, author, website creator, and educator. Peter says he felt an immediate connection to Judy Moody because, "having an 11-year-old daughter, I have witnessed firsthand the adventures of a very independent-minded girl." He says "It was almost spooky that I painted the cover [of JUDY MOODY SAVES THE WORLD] on the morning of September 11, 2001. I looked at what I was painting, and the words jumped out at me in a new and more meaningful way." Peter Reynolds lives in Dedham, Massachusetts.
