Superfudge.

Superfudge (1980) is the third installment in Judy Blume's beloved Fudge series — one of the most enduringly popular sequences in American children's literature — and the direct sequel to Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (1972). The novel follows twelve-year-old Peter Hatcher as he navigates a cascade of domestic upheavals: his family's temporary move from New York City to Princeton, New Jersey, the announcement that a new baby is on the way, and the continued anarchic presence of his irrepressible younger brother Farley Drexel Hatcher — known to all as Fudge — whose unbounded energy and cheerful obliviousness remain the comic engine of the series. The New York Times praised Blume for her knack for knowing what children think about and her honest, highly amusing way of writing about it, while Publishers Weekly commended her remarkable ability to combine humor with perceptive insight into a child's world. Superfudge became one of Blume's most commercially successful titles, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list and cementing her status as one of the most widely read children's authors in American publishing history — part of a body of work that has sold more than eighty million copies worldwide and been translated into thirty-one languages, earning Blume the Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime Achievement from the American Library Association in 1996 and recognition by Time magazine as one of the one hundred most influential people in the world in 2023.
