Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing
''Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing'' is a children's novel written by American author Judy Blume and published in 1972. It is the first in the Fudge series and was followed by ''Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great'', '' Superfudge'', '' Fudge-a-Mania'', and '' Double Fudge'' (2002). Although ''Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great'' features many of the same characters as the series, it does not fit exactly in the continuity of it because, as a spin-off, it only focuses on Peter's classmate (who later becomes his cousin-in-law), Sheila Tubman. Originally, the book featured illustrations by Roy Doty, but all post-2002 reprints of it have omitted the pictures. The story focuses on a nine-year-old boy named Peter Warren Hatcher and his relationship with his two-and-a-half-year-old brother, Farley Drexel "Fudge" Hatcher. He hates the sound of his legal name and prefers Fudge for any and all occasions. Plot Peter is frustrated with the horrendous behavior demonstrated by Fudge, who ...
