Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
Life with his little brother, Fudge, makes Peter Hatcher
feel like a fourth grade nothing. Whether Fudge is throwing a temper tantrum in
a shoe store, smearing mashed potatoes on the walls at Hamburger Heaven, or trying

with Dribble, Peter's pet turtle, it's the last straw. Peter has put up with
Fudge for too long. Way too long! How can he get his parents to pay attention
to him for a change?

In their classroom, lessons are unconventional, students are unpredictable, and magic has a tendency to turn wonky at the worst possible moments. Because it's always amazing, the trouble a little wonky magic can cause . . .
