    About this audiobook

    Sometimes life in the Hatcher household is enough to make twelve-year-old Peter think about running away. His worst problem is still his younger brother, Fudge, who hasn't changed a bit since his crazy capers in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. If you ask Peter, Fudge is just an older - and bigger - pain.

    Then Peter learns that his mom is going to have a baby and the whole family is moving to Princeton for a year. It will be bad enough starting sixth grade in a strange place and going to the same school as Fudge. But Peter can imagine something even worse. How will he ever survive if the new baby is a carbon copy of Fudge?

    • 4/5
      Peter is Fudge's older brother. Their mum and dad have a baby called Tamara, and Peter and Fudge do NOT like it! Fudge realises that Tamara is too young and small to play with him, so he tries to sell her. Then that doesn't work, so he tries to give her away - you know, for free. That still doesn't work. Fudge gets very annoyed, has a run-in with his teacher and calls her Rat-Face.

      Fudge makes a friend called Daniel, and kind of runs away with him. It's pretty dramatic...

      Do you think that Peter can once again help Fudge hard?

      Tamara at first was usually called 'baby'. The baby is hungry, or The baby is crying. Sometimes (most times) it would be The baby needs her nappy changing. Pooey... After that, it was Tootsie.

      One day, Tamara says 'yuck'. Peter assumes his parents and Fudge knew this, but they didn't. In the end, when they find out, Tamara says, "Nu yuck," as if to say she wanted to go to New York again, as they'd come to Princeton (where they were now) just for a year. But actually, I think that she meant "knew yuck", so it would be like, "I knew the word 'yuck' before." But I don't know, I'm just guessing she meant that.

      I loved this book as a kid, but I have to ditch this copy; it's been updated and I want my edition to be the horribly outdated one I read as a kid. I'm certain when I read this the first time Peter did not ask Santa for an mp3 player or a laptop computer. Still, most of the book is unchanged and it's less hilarious to adult me as it was to kid me but only because adult me gets what's going on as Peter's life gets turned upside down with a move and a new baby sister and a change in his father's employment status. However, adult me still thought the part where Fudge tried to sell, give away, and finally pay someone to take, his sister was as hilarious as it was the first time I read it. Superfudge is as relevant as it ever was; I hope kids continue to discover Judy Blume for years to come.

      This book is about Peter and his younger brother, Fudge. Fudge is a big pain. Then Peter finds out his mother is going to have another baby. If that baby is anything like Fudge its going to be even worse. To top that off, they decide to move to New Jersey for an entire year. It is hard to make new friends and get used to a new place. I liked this because Peter is an adventurous, risk taking person and he is going to have a younger sister. I can understand how Peter feels about Fudge becasue I have a younger sister.
    • 4/5
      Quite how I managed to miss out on this while my daughters were growing up I do not know, but it was one of their copies of the book that my six year old grand-daughter selected as her bed time story for my weekly child minding slot. It took us three visits to complete possibly elongated by the amount of laughter coming from both of us. I confess to giving a spirited reading, really living the role of the sixth grade narrator, Pee-yah. I am amazed that the subject
      matter has barely dated, if you ignore the absence of new technology.
      We are now searching for the other books I'm the series, if we cannot find the originals, then repurchase will be essential.
    • 3/5
      Fudge wasn’t nearly as obnoxious in this book as he was in the first. The addition of the baby did much to highlight Fudge’s deficiencies and almost made me feel as though his parents don’t love him, but rather tolerate him.

      I thought I read this as a kid, but I would have been at least 10 years old, which is surely the target age Blume was aiming for. I have always had fond memories of the Fudge books, and now my 7-year-old son loves them too. We got this book on audio for a long car trip; it's very funny and really captures the feelings of a 6th-grade boy going through some pretty big upheavals in his life. However, if I did read it as a child, I had either forgotten or wasn't that affected by the fact that Blume drops the bomb that Santa is made up in this book. As a reader, I don't blame her; she writes for kids in a way that lets them know that books are wonderful, dangerous things that can reveal truths your parents may not have told you. However, as a parent, I selfishly want my son to believe as long as possible. Fortunately, my husband and I realized what was happening and were able to cut off the audio before the beans were spilled. "Uh, the CD broke!" Yeah. He can read this for himself when he's a bit older. (I deducted one star for the unexpected spoiler.)Attempted reread (on audiobook) in 2015.

      Summary: Peter's parents shock him with the news that they are going to have another baby. Peter is so angry at first because of how his little brother, Fudge, turned out. He keeps saying "you're having ANOTHER Fudge?" Not only are they having another baby but they are also moving to New Jersey so Peter's dad can pursue his writing career. Luckily, once Tootsie, the new baby, is born she proves to be not as bad as Fudge and Peter actually likes her. Fudge, however, is jealous that Tootsie is getting all the attention at first. He does things to Tootsie because of this. The families year in New Jersey is almost over and the Peter and a friend go on a picnic. Fudge wants to go but Peter won't let him so Fudge and his friend come up with their own plan. They ride bikes down the highway to a bakery without telling anyone. This makes everyone very upset with Fudge and even Peter is concerned about finding his little brother. Finally, Tootsie speaks her first works "Nu York." Argument: This book was another great one by Blume! I think the message from Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing are still there, about an older sibling and little sibling conflict. Having your parents tell you they are having a baby is something that many children of this age have to deal with and the fear of that sibling being the same as the sibling they already have just adds to that stress. Moving is another thing that many children have to deal with. I think this book could definitely be security for those children, reminding them that lots of people go through having a new sibling and moving to a new place and that it does get easier. In addition to that, this book is very entertaining because of the actions Fudge does. Fudge continues to get himself in trouble providing humor throughout the whole book.

      1001 CBYMRBYGUPeter just thought it was hard having an annoying little brother...wait until he has an annoying little brother, a new baby sister, and the family moves out of the city! Ridiculous that I have never read this book before now. Happy I finally have.
    • 5/5
      I love this book! When I was younger, I was in love with the series, and I still am! The books are cute and funny, and I like how the book is centered around family instead of just friends. Family is very important.
    • 4/5
      Read this aloud to my so-close-to-being-seven year old. There were many parts she laughed out loud about. The underlying message about family was nice. I was glad to have read it to her so I could edit some of the name calling etc. There is a chapter where Santa is discussed as being real or not - we skipped it with what seems like little disturbance to the overall story. There is some very mild middle school attraction in the book...it was very mild but my daughter still said "ewwww gross".

      We may have read this a little too early. My daughter most identified with the middle boy who is in Kindergarten.
    • 5/5
      I love Judy Blume’s “Fudge Series” so reading Superfudge was very enjoyable for me. The book has relatable characters for readers as well as a relatable plot. In Superfudge Peter learns that the family is going to be having another baby and he goes insane. “’How could you?’ I shouted. ‘How could you? Isn’t one enough?’” He is convinced that they will have another baby like his younger brother Fudge who is a nightmare and out of control. He says, “Another Fudge! Just what this family needs.” This is very relatable to any child who is expecting another sibling in the family and may be going through a similar problem as Peter. The style Judy Blume writes this book is very humorous which makes it very engaging for readers. As seen in the dialogue above it is funny how a fifth grader reacts to a situation like this. The main message of the story is that even though you may be going through a different and rough time in your life, everything will end up being okay and sometimes turn out to be better than predicted.
    • 4/5
      This is a book that is great for 3-5 graders. It is a series book. The theme is the life of a young boy that is in fifth grade dealing with his younger siblings and moving to a new city. This book shows great family unity and is very funny and light-hearted. It is written in a narrative form and is fairly easy to read. The vocabulary used is everyday vocabulary and there are no complicated words that children of the same age couldn't relate to. This can be a great mentor text to introduce students to write about experiences in their own lives because it is relatable and not too intimidating of a style.
    • 5/5
      I have loved this book for a very long time. Peter Hatcher is a normal kid who has a high-strung little brother named Fudge. Peter and Fudge have just learned that their mother is going to have a baby girl and also that they are moving. Fudge's antics had me laughing out loud. I think kids will identify with Peter, especially those who are older siblings.
    • 5/5

      This is the story about a boy named PeterHatcher. He has a little brother named Fudge who is always gettting into trouble. Peter feels like noone ever pays attention to him. Then one day his mother says that they are having a baby and have to move to Princton for a year. The book tells how Peter makes it through all of his trials and turns out fine. This is a very funny book that kept me laughin through all of Fudges activites!! This could be a great book for kids to read when they think no one cares!

      Fudge is back! Peter is having a hard time dealing with just one Fudge, but when his parents tell him they're going to have another baby all Peter can think is OH NO,NOT ANOTHER FUDGE! There are so many changes that come to Peter, and he has a tough time dealing with them all.This book was really funny. I've had it on my booshelf for years but just picked it up on a whim and I found myself surprisingly intrigued by this cute little four-yeasr old and his older brother. I can't wait to read more Fudge.
