Fudge is back and he's discovered money in a big way. He's making his own "Fudge Bucks," dressing as a miser for Halloween and thumbing through catalogs before bed, choosing birthday and Christmas presents years in advance - much to the embarrassment of his family, especially older brother Peter, who's just starting 7th grade. But things begin to change when the Hatchers discover their long-lost relatives, The Howie Hatchers of Honolulu, Hawaii - not exactly your everyday family. With new cousins, Flora and Fauna, and 4 year old Farley Drexel - yes, that's right, another Farley Drexel! - the stage is set for a wild and wacky beginning to a new school year

"In reading this book you would never know the gap in years from the original Fudge books to this newer one. I guess that is why Judy Blume is such a good writer. She talks about issues that are important to her audience and even though time passes the issues are still relevant. "
— Andrea (4 out of 5 stars)
Judy Blume has a knack for knowing what children think about.

— Andy, 2/26/2012" Like Ramona's World, another book about some of my favorite characters written years after the original series. Judy Blume still has it! The voice of the characters is spot-on. Doesn't really feel like a "final" Peter & Fudge book, though. Maybe she will revisit them again someday. "
