A childhood favorite.

I love children's books. In fact, I took a children's literature class in college for the mere reason I enjoy reading children'd books.

I always loved the Fudge series when I was growing up and always wished there were more. Well, immagine how happy I was when I recently found out there was a new one just published in the last few years! Double Fudge by Judy Blume was my most recent read.

I'm not sure what to say about this book. It was rather far-fetched in places, such as the Hatchers going to D.C. and then finding a long lost cousin who comes to stay with them for a while. I didnt' like the fact that it seemed like the cousin's family was portrayed as plain weird including homeschooling, but then I realized the original Hatcher family was pretty weird and they went to public school, so I guess the Hatchers are just strange if they homeschool or not! LOL!

It may be because I'm no longer 8 years old, but I didn't think this was as good as the original Fudge books, but then again adults aren't the target audience here. :)
