FREE: SUPERFUDGE

The listing, SUPERFUDGE has ended.

Superfudge is a book by Judy Blume, published in 1980. It is the sequel to Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. The story is about a boy named Fudge who knows a lot of big words, but doesn't know where babies come from, never heard of a stork, but plans to be a bird when he grows up. According to his older brother, Peter, Fudge is the biggest and oldest pain ever invented.
Lately, life in the Hatcher household makes pre-teen Peter Hatcher thinks about running away. He is far from overjoyed at the turn the family fortunes are taking. His mother is pregnant, and Fudge is annoying as ever. Peter worries that the baby will be like a carbon copy of Fudge, but when Tamara Roxanne Hatcher (a.k.a. "Tootsie") is born, she doesn't turn out to be so bad. But it's Fudge who now dislikes her, feeling jealous of all the attention. Then they plan on moving away to Princeton, New Jersey for a year to see what it is like away from the city. Their father is taking a leave of absence on the advertising agency to write a book on the history of advertising. Peter also learns that Fudge will be starting kindergarten and they will wind up going to the same school together. Once again, Peter is upset over it and feels like running away. But his friend Jimmy Fargo promises he'll come and visit, and he won't miss Sheila Tubman. When they get there, Peter is not too thrilled about living in the suburbs at first, until he meets a new friend, Alex Santo. They instantly begin doing things together, such as digging up worms for a neighbor, go to the same class, see the movie Superman, and go trick-or-treating together (even though they have to take Fudge, who dresses up as a ghost.) Peter also develops a mild crush on a girl named Joanne McFadden, and Fudge makes a new friend named Daniel, who is a bird expert. Alex also becomes good friends with Jimmy Fargo, much to Peter's dismay. Fudge also gets his own pet, a myna bird he names "Uncle Feather" whom loves to talk a lot.
