“Drinking tea.” Royal tea. High tea. Tea probably made of royal rose petals. Tea that she, Judy Moody, was not drinking.

Jessica Finch got to drink tea in a for-real castle! Jessica Finch got to eat coronation chicken and crown-shaped cookies. Jessica Finch got to play a royal game of charades.

It was so not fair. Judy was the one related to a queen, not Jessica.

Suddenly, she, Judy Moody, had an idea. A smashing idea! She would throw a right royal tea party of her own, and invite her friends. The invitations would be written in super-secret spy code, so Jessica A. Finch would never know.

Maybe Dad would let her get a bouncy castle. Maybe Mom would let her use dishes, the kind that can break for real. Not paper plates and cups.

It was going to be a big-deal do. A tea party fit for a queen. And the crowning moment would be when she, Judy Mudeye Moody, was crowned queen, with all her loyal friends around her. She could see it now . . .

Sir Short Shanks stood on tiptoe. “What are they saying?”

“Shh. I’m trying to hear,” Judy spy-whispered.

Jessica made a curtsy. “My favorite part of the castle was the chair in the throne room,” she told the kids at the table. “The one with the knight’s head and the letter M.”

The royal Moody chair!

Judy almost choked. “HEY! That’s our chair. The one with the M-for-Moody crest. Not F-for-Finch.”

Something was not right. Something was hinky. Something was wonky. Jessica Finch sure was annoying. Now she knew how the queen felt when somebody forgot to curtsy. B-u-g-g-e-d!

“Time to go,” Mom and Dad called. Last stop: gift shop. Judy got her very own hankie. Stink got a deck of cards with facts about doomed kings and queens.

Short Shanks spouted fun facts all the way home. “Did you know George the First died of eating too many strawberries? Anne Boleyn had an extra finger! Henry the Eighth played tennis while his wife’s head was getting chopped off.”

All Judy could think about was Jessica Finch and the royal Moody chair. Roar! She felt like a queen all right — a scream queen. If Jessica had copied her family tree, heads were going to roll.
