Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

Author: Judy Blume

Judy Blume’s “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” is a hilarious and heartwarming journey through the eyes of nine-year-old Peter Hatcher. Living in New York City with his parents and mischievous little brother Fudge, Peter navigates the ups and downs of family life with wit and exasperation. From Fudge’s antics to Peter’s own struggles, this relatable story captures the essence of sibling rivalry and growing up. I still chuckle remembering Fudge’s turtle-eating incident!
