Nine-year-old Peter Hatcher's biggest problem is actually quite small. It's his little brother, Fudge. Whether he's throwing a temper tantrum in public or ruining a school project, Fudge seems to find a way to make Peter's life miserable. And when everyone else treats the two-year-old like he's something special, Peter just feels like a fourth grade nothing.

This popular classic is an easy read for boys and girls. Peter's narration of life with a younger sibling is humorous and relatable. The book is a bit dated, describing very traditional gender roles from the '70s, but the family is warm and supportive. Fans can follow Fudge through four more books in the series.
