Book Summary

Peter Hatcher's younger brother, Fudge, develops a new obsession: money. He begins printing his own currency called 'Fudge Bucks' and tries to use them to buy things, leading to many comical and frustrating situations for Peter and the rest of the Hatcher family. Fudge also becomes fascinated with the idea of being rich and famous, and even announces his intention to marry his cousin, Sheila Tubman. The family takes a trip to Washington D.C., where Fudge's antics continue to cause chaos and embarrassment for Peter. Throughout the story, Peter, now a teenager, navigates the challenges of having a quirky younger brother, learning to deal with Fudge's unique personality and sometimes even finding a strange affection for him, while the family tries to teach Fudge about the real value of money.
