About this book
Double Fudge is the fifth and final book in the outrageous, hilarious Fudge series from the iconic Judy Blume. Uh oh, what's Fudge up to now?! Pete's little brother, Fudge, has a new obsession. He's mad about money and he wants loads of it. In fact, he's going to print a hundred million trillion 'Fudge Bucks' and buy the whole world. Or maybe he'll just settle for buying the capital city of America and call it Fudgington. He's driving Pete nuts. Will Fudge ever stop being the most embarrassing brother on the planet? Start at the beginning with Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing and continue the chaos with Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great and Superfudge.
