Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Fudge, #1)

by Judy Blume

Peter thinks he has the world's biggest problem – his naughty little brother, Fudge.

Fudge causes trouble wherever he goes and it's usually up to Peter to sort out the mess. When Peter wins a tiny green turtle called Dribble, he's determined to keep it away from his brother. But when Fudge does get his hands on Dribble – disaster strikes!

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is the first book in the hilariously funny Fudge series from the bestselling author and household name Judy Blume, featuring cover art from picture book star, Emily Gravett.

The chaos continues in Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great and Superfudge.

Someone here on BookLikes mentioned Judy Blume and SuperFudge on their post the other day and I've just spent 20 minutes trying to find them and I can't.  To that person:  thank you!  I realised reading it that I needed some Judy Blume in my life right now.   I never liked this one as much as Superfudge (which I started last night) because of Dribble.  Even as a kid I was NOT happy with Dribble's fate.  Still, it's a great book and what was funny as a kid is still funny, but frighteningly not: I know kids like Fudge; he's not the exaggeration I always thought he was.   This book is still relevant and great for all kids but the oldest of the family will find it particularly relatable.
