In the final installment of Judy Blume’s beloved Fudge series, the Hatcher family is back with more chaos than ever.

From creating his own "Fudge Bucks" to dreaming of buying the entire world, Fudge’s antics keep his older brother, Peter, on his toes. This book is perfect for children who love funny family stories and relatable sibling dynamics that mirror the ups and downs of real life.

The plot thickens when the Hatchers cross paths with their long-lost relatives, the Howie Hatchers.

This "mini-Fudge" proves to be just as much trouble as the original, leading to a series of laugh-out-loud adventures. It is an ideal choice for readers interested in humorous realistic fiction and those who enjoy seeing how families handle eccentric relatives and unexpected surprises.
