Double Fudge

---

Double Fudge is narrated from the perspective of Peter Hatcher, a pre-teen whose life is constantly complicated by the antics of his much younger brother, Farley Drexel Hatcher, better known as Fudge. In this fifth installment, six-year-old Fudge develops an intense obsession with money. He begins printing his own currency, which he calls "Fudge Bucks," and tries to spend them everywhere, creating chaos at home and school.

The main conflict arises when Peter, already exasperated by Fudge’s obsession, faces another surprise: the arrival of long-lost relatives of the Hatcher family, who share the exact same names—a cousin named Farley Drexel Hatcher, and his daughter, also named Fudge. The arrival of this eccentric "Fudge Two" family, who hail from the American South, forces Peter and Fudge to tolerate yet more family disruption and to question the meaning of kinship, names, and individuality. The story uses witty realistic humor to explore common themes of sibling rivalry, family dynamics, and coping with change.
