“I love money,” is five-year-old Fudge’s new
theme song. He’s going to dress as a miser for
Halloween and has made big plans to buy the
entire world (or at least Toys“R”Us). Fudge’s
new obsession with cash is driving his older
brother Peter crazy! But life really spins out
of control when Peter and his family run into
their long-lost relatives, the Howie Hatchers
of Honolulu, Hawaii. Now Peter has to deal
with Flora and Fauna, his annoying twin
cousins who burst into song at the drop of
a hat, and their weird little brother, named
Farley Drexel Hatcher—just like Fudge! Their
names aren’t the only similarity, and before
long, mini-Fudge is causing just as much
trouble as Fudge always has! This newest
book starring Peter and Fudge is one wild
ride!
