Rating: 4 stars

Complaints: Too short and too easy.

Comments: Pretty easy and really short (I read in half an hour) but still really good! Judy Blume is an amazing writer - I have read nearly all of her books and I love them all. Freckle Juice is one classic that will not disappoint.

Fudge-A-Mania

Pete and Fudge's parents are planning on renting a house out in the country with Shelia Tubman and her family! How will Pete survive the summer with Fudge wanting to marry Shelia (even though he is five) and Shelia and all her "cooties?" Things don't turn out so bad at first, but when Pete and Fudge's grandma wants to marry Shelia's grandfather, Pete realizes something - Shelia and he will be related! NO!

Rating: 5 stars

Complaints: None.

Comments: Hilarious, Funny, and just downright AMAZING! I have read this book 6 times! The book makes me laugh out loud each time, as do all of the Fudge books. Judy Blume is really an amazing writer.

Superfudge

Title: Superfudge

Author: Judy Blume

Summary: Things seem so bad when Peter Hatcher finds out the family is moving to Princeton for the year to see what they think of it there. But things just get worse when he finds out that there is another baby on the way. Peter is annoyed. Suppose this baby turns out to be another Fudge? Peter can't even imagine that! When Fudge starts acting like a baby again just so he can get more attention, things just take a turn for the worse. But will things really turn out as he thinks?

Rating: 5 stars

Complaints: None.

Comments: Great book, but if you read Double Fudge first, it is not quite as good as that, so it may not seem like 5 stars. But I definitely still recommend it, because while it is not as "laugh-out-loud" funny, it helps to make the other books in the series make sense.

Double Fudge!

Title: Double Fudge

Author: Judy Blume

Summary: Pete's little brother Fudge has suddenly become super obsessed with money. He has even started making his own money, his Fudge Bucks, and his own bank, the Farley Drexel Hatcher Bank! But when they run into the long-lost cousin Hatchers in a trip to Washington D.C. Fudge and Pete's dad isn't exactly into meeting up with them, and the cousin Hatchers end up taking over the apartment, and when Mr. Feather comes down with some kind of illness and no longer talks, and Fudge is upset. What will happen?

Rating: 5 stars

Complaints: None.

Comments: Such a funny book, I laughed out loud so many times that my family thought something was wrong. I'm pretty sure that this book was banned from being read in quiet waiting rooms and the like. :P So funny that I even read parts of it out loud to my family, because sometimes everbody needs a good laugh! For Judy Blume to make a book that can make a family of people ranging from adult to toddler/baby laugh...That is some excellent writing! Love this book that can be shared with the whole family!

Otherwise Known as Shelia the Great!

She meets a new friend Mouse Ellis, and Shelia tries to conquer her fear of the water, which is a pretty big challenge. She is also excited to be on the camp newspaper reporter, also she is in the Peter Pan play in camp, and she ends up playing Captain Hook. Will this be Shelia's best summer ever? Or will it be bad?

Rating: 5 stars

Complaints: It sort of annoyed me that she was afraid of dogs, but it is fine. :P

Comments: Hilarious book! I am glad that Ms. Blume decided to make a book about Sheila, because while she is not often shown as the nicest person in the Fudge books, this book really explained a lot about her. It was also nice, because in her other novel appearances, she was just a little misunderstood I believe.
