Go Get Fudge,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Fudge-a-Mania (Paperback)
This book is awesome and hilarious. Fudge-A- Mania is the kind of book that if you have a little brother you will understand how Peter Hatcher feels. In this book Peter's little brother, Fudge, meets a girl named Mitzi. Her dad is Peter's favorite pro baseball player. Peter tries to keep them together so he can meet Mitzi's dad. Oh did I mention they're all in Maine. It isn't a 4 star book because it is okay. But it was not as exciting as The Tales of the 4th Grade Nothing, but it is still a great book so go get this book now!

This review is from: Fudge-a-Mania (Paperback)
My nine-year-old loved this book, and has loved several in this series. Ms. Blume has a way of relating to the tween reader in a way that is funny and understanding at the same time. Excellent read.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Fudge-a-Mania (Paperback)
This book is about Fudge getting married and he is only five years old. There is lots of wacky stuff in this book like when they lose their bird. I think you should read this book because it's funny. One of the funny parts was when Fudge always sings stuff and says, "I'm getting married!"
