Bookroo's summary
Peter Hatcher's life is a whirlwind thanks to his little brother, Fudge, a three-year-old tornado of trouble. From tantrums in public to smearing food on walls, Fudge's antics never end. But when Fudge takes Peter's beloved pet turtle, Dribble, it's the final straw. Peter is desperate for his parents to notice him amidst the chaos. Can he find a way to stand out and reclaim his place in the family? Dive into this hilarious tale of sibling rivalry and discover if Peter can survive life with Fudge.
From the publisher
Life with his little brother, Fudge, makes Peter Hatcher feel like a fourth grade nothing. Whether Fudge is throwing a temper tantrum in a shoe store, smearing mashed potatoes on the walls at Hamburger Heaven, or trying to fly, he’s never far from trouble. He’s an almost three-year-old terror who gets away with everything, and Peter’s had it up to here!
When Fudge walks off with Dribble, Peter’s pet turtle, it’s the last straw. Peter has put up with Fudge for too long. Way too long! How can he get his parents to pay attention to him for a change?
