Peter Hatcher, fourth grader, lives a quiet life in New York City with his mom, dad, and brother 'Fudge.' And Fudge is quite the problem. He destroys things, throws tantrums, and in general makes life difficult. And he gets away with everything! Why should Peter have to stand for that? Why don't his parents pay attention to him?
This humorous children's book was a great snaphot of the chaos and insanity of a typical childhood, as told from the older brother's eyes. I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially as a parent now. Judy Blume does a good job capturing the humor and emotions of that stage of life.
