AlbakiReads Editorial

Sibling life through Peter’s eyes

Peter’s younger brother, Fudge, draws plenty of adult admiration, but Peter sees the disruption behind the charm. In this family comedy, everyday sibling friction takes shape through Fudge’s tantrums and household mischief, with Peter’s pet turtle, Dribble, also part of the picture. The fourth-grade perspective keeps the focus on how a younger child’s antics affect the older sibling who has to live alongside them. As the first book in Judy Blume’s Fudge series, it introduces Peter, Fudge, and Sheila.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in comic stories about siblings and family life.
  • Readers who enjoy mischievous younger-child characters and household antics.
  • Those looking for the first book in the Fudge series.

Book overview

The #1 New York Times bestselling author's first book in her classic Fudge series.

"As a kid, Judy Blume was my favorite author, and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing was my favorite book."--Jeff Kinney, author of the bestselling Wimpy Kid series

"Each [Fudge book] is packed with wacky earthy disasters that are her trademark and that children love to read about . . . Judy Blume has a knack for knowing what children think about and an honest, highly amusing way of writing about it."--The New York Times

Two is a crowd when Peter and his little brother, Fudge, are in the same room. Grown-ups think Fudge is absolutely adorable, but Peter and his pet turtle, Dribble, know the truth. From throwing temper tantrums to smearing mashed potatoes on the wall, Fudge causes mischief wherever he goes!
