Megan McDonald, a renowned children’s author, is best known for her highly popular “Judy Moody” book series, which chronicles the adventures of an imaginative and spirited third-grader. In addition to this series, McDonald has written several other books, such as the “Stink” series, “The Sisters Club,” and “The Bridge to Nowhere.” Her work has earned her numerous accolades, including the Judy Blume Award and the E.B. White Read Aloud Award. Besides her writing career, McDonald has also worked as a teacher and librarian.
An interesting fact about McDonald is that the inspiration for her “Stink” series, a spinoff of “Judy Moody,” came from her own childhood experiences with her three older sisters, who used to tease her and call her “Stink.”
