Superfudge by: Judy Blume
Truthfully, Shaun read most of this one. I "made" him read it for school while I listened and asked questions after each chapter. I loved it so much that I had to list it here.
I've been a fan of Fudge and his brother Peter since my teacher, the wonderful Mrs. Westmorland, introduced them to me in fourth grade. When Shaun was in 4th grade, we read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. He's always been able to identify with Peter. Back then, he and Peter had the same "biggest problem"...their little brothers! Now that Shaun and Peter are in 6th grade, the similarities continue as the Hatcher brothers adjust to the arrival of their new baby sister. Weirdly, I can also identify with some characters in this book: the parents of Fudge and Peter. I used to think Mrs. Hatcher was such a "Debby Downer" and now I see myself in her. I'm not the only one. Shaun actually told me that I reminded him of Peter's mother. I'm getting old, I guess. : /
I loved, LOVED this book and so did Shaun. We laughed and laughed as we read it. Those are the best books... the ones that make you laugh out loud. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. We've already been to the library to get the next one in the series.
