Story4.5 out of 5 stars 667
He knows a lot of big words, but he doesn't know where babies come from. He's never heard of a stork, but he plans to be a bird when he grows up. He's Superfudge, otherwise known as Farley Drexel Hatcher. And, according to his older brother, Peter, the biggest pain invented. Among other things.

OK book.
Reviewed: 07-17-24
This review is by a kid. In my opinion, the story is good. I honestly don't know why, but it's not the BEST. Sometimes Peter can be disrespectful to his parents, and even if Fudge is annoying, Peter can be rude sometimes. But if you would like a funny story to escape reality, maybe you'd like this book. Except for the narrator. I don't really like Judy Blume as the narrator and as some other reviews say, she sounds kinda like a robot, or like if you talk into your pillow. And also, if your kids believe in Santa, you should be careful if you don't want to ruin the magic. Sooo... basically 4.6 out of 10.

Story5 out of 5 stars 602
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Beginning from Auggie’s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

I am going to share my opinion on Wonder and a short summary (I will try not to spoil it!
Wonder is an amazing story. It is about not judging a book by its cover, and it is ok to stand out, and that just because you look different does not mean you are ugly or less than them.
And now here is the summary.
August Pullman (Auggie) is not your ordinary kid, because of his face abnormalities. But when the school year starts, Auggie is in 5th grade, and starting middle school, but it is his very first time at real school, and is not treated very kindly by other kids. having been homeschooled his whole life. Eventually Auggie is able to make a couple friends, Jack Will, and Summer. and Auggie has a sister named Via. The story is through different people's point of view, how they see Auggie. Auggie, to his family and friends, despite his face, is a wonder.
I listened to this book more than once. I just cannot get enough of it! I even have the story in the book version, like the book you hold in your hands. I highly, highly recommend this WONDER-ful book! 😊🔊📘

Living 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 scribbling all over Peter's homework, he's never far from trouble. He's a two-year-old terror who gets away with everything, and Peter's had enough.

AMAZING!!
Reviewed: 12-11-23
Tales of a fourth grade nothing is a classic. I don't care that it's not "Realistic" and that I couldn't "Relate to it", because it is a funny, lighthearted story. Except.... (spoiler alert) The part where Fudge somehow managed to swallow Peter's turtle, Dribble, although the parents got Peter a dog afterwards, it did not seem like they felt very bad that he lost his pet turtle. But otherwise great!! Funny and lighthearted story.

Can you keep a secret? Stella Batts has a lot of secrets to keep these days - there's the secret of what really happened to her little sister's pet fish, and there's the secret school project she's working on with her friend Lucy, and there's the secret on the second floor of her family's candy store. Actually, Stella doesn't know the candy store secret yet, because her dad won't tell her. Even though she's eight years old, and that's old enough to be trusted!

Told from four-year-old Laura's point of view, this story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Laura lives in the little house with her pa, her ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack. Pioneer life is sometimes hard for the family, since they must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her family celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town.

This is probably my favorite Grandma's Attic book. Very good stories with Christian elements and kids should enjoy it. 5 stars for story, 4 stars for performance, so... 4½ stars.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 234
One of the best things about having parents who own a candy store is getting to be an official taste-tester. When her dad brings home Magical Glow-in-the-Dark Chewing Gum, Stella can’t wait to try it out - especially since her younger sister is already blowing bubbles and making magic-gum wishes that come true. Except the gum seems to bring Stella bad luck. First she can’t even blow a bubble, and then she falls asleep chewing a piece of gum that ends up wadded in her hair, resulting in a drastic haircut. And now her best friend, Willa, announces she’s moving clear across the country!
