BOOK NAME: Fudge-a-mania
AUTHOR: Judy Blume

This book is about two families that live in New York City, the Hatchers and Tubmans. The parents from each family like each other but the kids from each family do NOT like each other. The parents of the families decide to go to Maine for the summer. The kids think they are going live in houses next door to each other, like neighbors. This would be bad enough, but they actually have to live in the SAME house for the summer.  

The main person in the story is Peter. He is the oldest kid in the Hatcher family and Fudge (not his real name) is the youngest. Sheila is the youngest kid in the Tubman family. Sheila and Peter are enemies. This makes for a lot of trouble during summer vacation.  What makes it even harder is that Peter and Sheila are both given the job of taking care of Fudge during the summer and Fudge is a lot of work! 

But it goes from bad to worse when Grandpa Tubman (Sheila's grandpa) and Grandma Hatcher (Peter and Fudge's grandma) decide to get married. This means Peter and Sheila, although they are sworn enemies, are now related and in the same family. But they made a promise that even though they are related, they will always hate each other!

I really liked this book. I tried to read it all at one time, but my parents told me I had stop reading and turn off my light since it was a school night!

BOOK NAME: Superfudge
AUTHOR: Judy Blume

Superfudge is a fun book about a regular a boy named Peter and his brother named Fudge.  Fudge is going into kindergarten but he's a little out of control.  Peter absolutely wants to have nothing to do with Fudge but when he finds out that their mom is going to have another baby things only get worse.  On top of that, they are planning on moving for a year out of the city.  Peter tries to handle moving, two crazy siblings and staying cool all at the same time, but things tend to get a little hectic!  
     I LOVED reading Superfudge!  It was so much fun to read all the wacky things that Fudge ends up doing.  I am definitely planning on reading the sequels to it.  It was an easy read so I could take a break from all of the other much harder books I have for school.  The book reminds me of my own life in a way that I am in 6th grade and Peter is too.  My youngest brother Brady is SO the Fudge of the family.  He and Fudge are like wild childs.  We really do have a lot in common with them.
     I rate this a FIVE out of FIVE!  It is a great read for people who like humorous fictional types of books or Judy Blume's others in the series.  If you have a 'Wild Child' in the family, tell me about it.
