More About the Author

Judy Blume spent her childhood in Elizabeth, NJ, making up stories inside her head. She has spent her adult years in many places, doing the same thing, only now she writes her stories down on paper. Adults as well as children will recognize such Blume titles as: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret; Superfudge; Blubber; Just As Long As We're Together; and Forever. She has also written the best-selling novels Wifey; Smart Women; and, Summer Sisters. More than 75 million copies of her books have been sold, and her work has been translated into twenty-six languages.
She receives thousands of letters each month from readers of all ages who share their feelings and
concerns with her.
Judy received a B.S. in education from New York University in 1961, which named her a Distinguished Alumna in 1996, the same year that American Library Association honored her with the Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime Achievement. She has won more than ninety awards, none more important than those coming directly from her youngest readers.
She serves on the boards of the Author's Guild, currently as Vice President; the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, where she sponsors an award for contemporary fiction; and the National Coalition Against Censorship, working to protect intellectual freedom. In Spring 2002, Judy was a spokesperson for the Cheerios "A Book for Every Child" literacy campaign which benefited Reading is Fundamental, America's largest literacy organization. She is also the founder and trustee of The Kids Fund, a charitable and educational foundation.
Judy's first book in the Fudge series, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, was published in 1972. She is thrilled to be celebrating its 30th Anniversary with the publication of Double Fudge. Just as generations of fans have loved the Fudge books, generations of Judy's family have inspired them. Thirty years ago, Fudge was inspired by her son, Larry, and now Double Fudge was written at the request of her grandson, Elliot.
Judy lives on islands up and down the East Coast with her husband George Cooper. They have three grown children and one grandchild.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Judy Blume Boxed Set (Fudge-a-Mania, Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Superfudge) (Paperback)

SuperFudge was so funny! I laughed about the little sister Tootsie part so hard. It was probably one of the funniest books I have read so far. It was great and I wish ALL books were as funny as that one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Judy Blume made me love books. She's wonderful!!!!, January 1, 2003

This review is from: Judy Blume Boxed Set (Fudge-a-Mania, Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Superfudge) (Paperback)

I was lucky to have a library of Judy Blume books at my disposal when I was in elementary school and middle school. I loved her books so much that my parents would have to HIDE her books prior to our vacations so I would have something left to read in the car. Otherise, I would read them all, cover to cover, one after the other. Judy Blume's characters are very clever and just the tiniest bit mischevious, which is what makes these books uniquely INTERESTING. Have you seen the drivel given to middle readers?? If you want your child to start loving reading...this is IT. Buy them all. Buy them now. (Maybe your kids will end up English majors and book lovers like I did.)

I thought that this book was exciting because it had to do with a mischevous little boy. It made you want to find ot what the boy does. I reccomend this book to anybody.
