Book Review

Chapter book for new readers:

"Double Fudge." Written by well-known children's author Judy Blume. Just the name of this book sounds like it would be a good read. But "Double Fudge" isn't about double fudge ice cream; however it's a real treat none-the-less. It's about a boy named Fudge and his older brother Pete. Pete, who is in middle school, narrates what's occurring in the book. There's craziness abound, from Fudge Bucks to dealing with cousins who have no compunction about singing and dancing around a coffee shop. You've got to hand it to Pete, he's a saint of a brother to put up with a younger sibling like Fudge, plus his pesky cousins. The book is fun to read and interesting enough to keep new readers motivated in reading.
