Fudge-a-Mania is a fictional novel written by Judy Blume. Peter Hatcher,
who is a fifth grader in New York and he takes a vacation to Maine. He has to
share a vacation house with his enemy, Sheila Tubman. Peter has to come to
terms with this, and his teen age while growing up when dealing with Sheila, and
his younger annoying brother, Fudge. He tries to make this situation better with
his friends, but it turns into problems. Things get better between them, and they
are step cousins at the end, after all their experiences they had together. So they
plan to be a better company for each other.
The most compelling aspect is when it turns into a family relationship at
the end, after all that has happened. I was disappointed that the book did not go
in too much depth about everyone’s feelings. This is since I would like to know
more about the contrasting views about each other. The thoughts and feelings
that this book inspired is that relations can get better. I would recommend this
book to those that like humor and like to read about relations and experiences
between people.
