Critic reviews

"[A] fast-pitched, funny novel." (Publishers Weekly)
"Hilarious....The uncomplicated plot is developed smoothly with just the right doses of surprise and laughter to keep readers turning the pages. Characters are credible, and never lose their identities." (School Library Journal)

Featured Article: On the Enduring Legacy of Judy Blume


Judy Blume's middle grade and young adult novels have helped raise generations of kids, reshaping the literary landscape for young listeners. Since the 1970s, Blume's writing has contributed to destigmatizing taboo topics like puberty, teen sexuality, masturbation, menstruation, bullying, disability, and more. And now, rather than her books being deemed outdated or no longer relevant to today's kids, we're experiencing a "Blume-aissance."

A wonderful situation of comedy but one problem

I loved Fudge-a-Mania because it had such loveable character traits of Fudge Hatcher, Peter Hatcher, Jimmy Fargo, and Shelia Tubman. Mitzi was so funny when she met Fudge, and when they were a part of Grandma and Buzzy Senior's wedding. But there is some mild language in this audiobook that I disagree within my soul, so check with your kids if they're OK with bad words. Otherwise, I LOVED Fudge-a-Mania and its story. It should take its place with the books that endure. Also, a big shout out to Judy Blume, the author! I dream of one day becoming an author myself, and I am a fan of her work!

This book is wonderfully funny and written, so prepare to enjoy it! 😘

Liked the book, couldn't stand the audiobook

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Sorry, we really felt that this book needed different narrator.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Aware that the author read her own book, which is often a plus. For example, we really loved listening to Charlotte's Web, as read by its author. However, in this case, whether it was due to the narrator's odd accent or high pitched narration, we could not continue listening past the 5th chapter.

Any additional comments?

Unable to return unread audiobooks. We also bought Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, also as an audiobook... after realizing that it is narrated by the same person, we knew we would not be listening to it and wanted to return it, but found we were unable to. So it will be wasted.
