Superfudge

Peter Hatcher’s life continues to be chaotic thanks to his little brother, Fudge, especially since Fudge’s vocabulary increasing. To make matters worse, Peter’s mom is pregnant, and Peter is sure that the new baby will be as much trouble for him as Fudge. The new baby turns out to be a girl, and they name her Tamara Roxanne, but call her Tootsie. Fudge finds that Tootsie is now getting all the attention that he used to get, and he is not OK with this, so he starts to act out even more than before. Meanwhile Peter’s dad decides to take a leave of absence from his job to write a book, so, much to Peter’s discontent, the family moves to New Jersey from New York. Jimmy Fargo, Peter’s best friend tries to help Peter see the bright side of things. Will things work out for Peter in New Jersey? If things don’t work out, will Peter make good on his promise and move away from his family?

When your little brother is Fudge, and your parents are expecting another baby, it’s easy to expect the worst. When your parents tell you that they’re planning to move to New Jersey so your father can write a book, it probably seems like the worst possible situation has arrived. When you have a best friend like Jimmy Fargo who is optimistic and helps you see the positive side of things, you realize that things will work themselves out and you’ll be OK. When you believe that things will be OK, and they do turn out to be OK, you realize that you were probably worried for nothing. Having friends and family to help you get through tough times is definitely a good thing.
