Superfudge, written by Judy BlumePublisher: Puffin Books
Pages: 178
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Rating: Thumbs Up!
This is the story of Peter Hatcher and his family. Peter has one little brother, Fudge (Farley Drexel Hatcher), and a little sister on the way who is known as Tootsie when she arrives. In this fun book, the family moves temporarily to Princeton in a family friends home while the father writes a researches for a book. Peter and Fudge are not thrilled with the move or the idea of a new sibling. The story goes on into family dynamics, meeting new friends, and maintaining old friendships.
I really liked the funny retelling of everyday family dynamic events. Children of all ages can relate to the various characters and learn from their trials and victories. I rated this story a "Thumbs Up!" due to the authors use of realistic stories, interesting dialogue, and great descriptive detail.
