The book that I read is “Judy Moody Declares Independence”. The main character of this book is Judy Moody. Judy went to Boston with her family.

Judy declared for more freedom of Independence from her parents by writing the seven Alien Rights (p.53). But her parents were just like King George, making up Bad Laws all the time.
