4th grade may have been the toughest grade for me in Elementary school, but reading this was hilarious and relatable.

Read before reading with my class; this made us laugh and was heartfelt, but the story ends rather abruptly with not too much of a satisfying conclusion. The good news is my kids were interested in reading more of the series! One student is now on Fudge-a-Mania!
