About this book
Superfudge is the third book in the hilarious, outrageous Fudge series from the iconic Judy Blume. Peter Hatcher's little brother, Fudge, is four. And he's as monstrous as ever! When Fudge discovers that his new baby sister can't play with him, he tries to sell her. When that doesn't work, he tries giving her away. And on his first day at school he kicks his teacher and calls her Rat Face. Can his big brother help him out this time? Start the series with Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing or continue the chaos with Fudge-a-Mania and Double Fudge.
