Judy Blume you have done it again. The way that she is able to have so much personality and characterization into her books even with how short it is is something to marvel at.
This was literally the perfect book for me to read after having a terrible day.
Not to mention this book is hilarious, like I busted out laughing so many times while reading this.
Peter and Fudge are my nephews fr like. Every single one of their interactions is just comedic gold. I appreciate how Peter is very sarcastic and a smart alec but he's still very clearly a kid.
This was my favortie series as a kid and I'm happy that it continues to live up to the hype.

So far I think this book is the funniest in the series.

I feel a bit silly giving it 4 stars--but it's just so gosh-darned genial I think I'd hurt its feelings at 3. Mostly its aspirations aren't that high, so it's like rating food trucks compared to gourmet restaurants--but it does what it sets out to do very, very well. It's a light, breezy read, and unlike many kids' books revisited as an adult, it works. It's dated (no one worries about cell phone reception in the woods, which would be my nephew's first concern now!), and I'm not convinced that "cooties" was a thing even when it was written--more likely during the author's youth--but once past that and into the vacation it was a treat to read.
Normally I knock off imaginary points for not having a compelling through-line and just being a set of episodes, but Ms. Blume manages to dangle enough carrots that you feel there's some sort of plot--or at least an expectation of things to come next, or at some point, and that was enough for me here.
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s).
