Double Fudge

In this latest installment of the Fudge series, Fudge is still five years old and takes up an obsessive and greedy love for money, driving his twelve-year-old brother, Peter, insane,[1] and after some talking with his family, they decide to take him to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D.C. for a long weekend to show how it is made, hoping that his obsession would stop there.

There is Howie, a park ranger who resides in Hawaii and is traveling the country, his pregnant wife Eudora, their perfect, slightly overindulged twelve-year-old identical twin daughters Flora and Fauna (who are sometimes nicknamed the "Natural Beauties" and the "Heavenly Hatchers"), and last but not least, three-year-old Farley Drexel Hatcher, which is also Fudge's real name.

Peter is also having a rough time throughout the story because his best friend, Jimmy Fargo, has left the Upper West Side and moved "far off" to SoHo on the other side of Manhattan, although they still get to go to the same school, where they're both in the seventh grade, while Fudge is in *Mixed* group, along with his new friend, Melissa Beth Miller.

Then Peter tells him that he felt the same way when Fudge swallowed his pet turtle, Dribble, in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.

Genuinely surprised at this news, Fudge thinks about this and finally realizes that he hasn't been a very good brother to him.
