Awards Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award Description Any fan of Fudge knows that he never does anything halfway.
And so it should come as no surprise that when he discovers the value of money, he goes whole hog-making his own Fudge Bucks, dressing as a miser for Halloween, and thumbing through catalogs to choose his birthday presents years in advance.
His older brother, Peter, who's just starting seventh grade, finds it all highly embarrassing, as usual.
But things change when the Hatchers meet their long-lost relatives, the Howie Hatchers of Honolulu, Hawaii.
With new cousins Flora, Fauna, and four-year-old Farley Drexel (yes, that's right, another Farley Drexel ), the stage is set for a wild and wacky beginning to a new school year.
