Judy Moody is struggling with 'Attitude Math' and is sent to a college-aged tutor, a situation that initially feels like a punishment but quickly turns into an exciting transformation. As Judy embraces the world of coffee shops, dorm life, and independence, she discovers that being a big kid is more about confidence than just knowing the right answers.

It is a lighthearted but meaningful look at overcoming academic shame and finding a renewed sense of self.
