Peter Hatcher's summer is not looking good.
First of all, Peter's brother Fudge -- the five-year-old human hurricane -- has a plan: to marry Peter's sworn enemy, Sheila Tubman. Disgusting! Could anything be worse?
Yes. Peter's parents have decided to rent a summer house next, door to the Tubman's. Which means Peter will be stuck with Fudge and Sheila the Cootie Queen for three whole weeks!
Will Peter be able to survive the summer? It may not be the vacation of Peter's dreams, but, as millions of Judy Blume fans know, it won't be dull. When Fudge is around, anything can happen... and does!

"Fudge is really funny. He wants to marry Sheila Tubman. Sheila is Peters worst enemy. And for a vacation they go up to Maine and the Tubmans go too. And Peter invites his friend over Jimmy, to go to Maine. He told Jimmy a big fat LIE! When they get there they see a house, Peter thinks it's Sheila's house. But it's a Duplex."

" The book was OK but it could of been better. "
— jaise, 1/23/2020" It's Judy Blume...what's not to like? It was nice to be reacquainted with these characters, especially one of my all-time favorites Sheila Tubman. I must have read Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great a dozen times as a kid. "
— Mary, 2/18/2014" This is of course a book for young children, I read it for the first time to my 4th graders, and they enjoyed it. It's a funny, soft read, a good book to start the year with. "
— Ross, 2/17/2014" Fudge was my hero! I remember finding these Fudge books hilarious and crazy, with the characters daring to do things that I would never do (my mother would kill me!). Great children's reads. "
— Hannah, 2/13/2014" This book is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY it is about a boy named peter who's little brother is insane and always messing things up.If you are looking for a funny book this is the right one for you "
— Sam, 2/5/2014" That you can never trust a little brother to get married at the age of 5 "
— Konnor, 1/31/2014" This would be a fun read for kids 1-3, but it didn't go beyond that. There are other books that feature the same characters if kids liked this one. "

— Susan, 11/16/2013" My 5th grade ESE students have just finished the halfway point in this book and are begging me to let them finish quicker. They have laughed out so loudly that I was afraid we would disturb the other students in the class. I love that they are finally interested in reading. "

— Shanyn, 7/18/2011" again, it was an okay book... pretty much all of judy blume's books are interesting but not something you'd call a really good read... "
— Sella, 6/5/2011" extremely cliche and boring...very uninteresting plot and is good for little kid reading only. Anyone that reads this that is out of 3rd grade is pathetic. "

— MCPLD, 4/6/2011" A fun read! Step into Peter's shoes and learn how it's like to have the most annoying little brother there is on the planet. What an embaressment! Readers who liked this book should read " The Pendereicks". "
— Emma, 3/26/2011" I liked this book and the fact that it carries on the story of Peter and his family. When I was little, I never read any Judy Blume books, so I'm glad that I have the chance to do it now! I feel like this book isn't really that exciting, but maybe younger kids would like it better than me! "
