About this book

Fudge-a-Mania is the fourth book in the wonderfully hilarious Fudge series from the iconic Judy Blume. Fudge is five – and he's driving his older brother, Peter, mad, as usual! Going on holiday with Fudge – and baby Tootsie, Turtle the dog and Uncle Feather the bird – means disasters every day. Even worse for Peter, disgusting Sheila Tubman is staying in the same house. Will it be Peter's nightmare holiday? One thing's for sure – it's going to be fudge-a-mania all the way! Start at the beginning with Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing or continue the chaos with Double Fudge.
