Book Review: "Double Fudge" by Judy Blume

Double Fudge by Judy Blume

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


I read this book when I was ten, and I remember being genuinely annoyed by it. Besides being another book about surly Peter and his hyperactive little brother Fudge, this book stereotypes homeschooling and homeschoolers. It's no wonder people have misconceptions of individuals who homeschool/are homeschooled! I think this book marks the first time I ever felt uncomfortable with the way I was being taught. You can tell the author didn't think about this aspect as she wrote her manuscript.

As a children's writer, I believe it is important to write stories that are genuine and will entertain and/or inspire all children, not just make one audience laugh (or confused by misinformation) and another audience look (and potentially feel) bad. Judy Blume failed to do that.
