Double Fudge 2002 in the story, Peter is twelve years old and in the seventh grade. For weird motives, Fudge has taken up a hobby in money, inventing songs about money, drawing pictures of money, and after he visits the Mint, the situation only gets worse.
Moreover, they meet Peter's father Warren's long-lost cousin's family, Howie Hatcher from Hawaii and his perfect daughters Flora and Fauna. They invite themselves to stay with Peter's family, and only cause more mayhem when they embarrass Peter in school, and take away their privacy.
Subplots include Fudge making new friends in his special mixed group class at school, and Uncle Feather (his myna bird) not talking for a while until an accident that causes him to start yakking all over again, as well as Henry the Elevator Operator becoming superintendent of their apartment building. Jimmy Fargo and his father also move to SoHo and put on a painting show, making Mr. Fargo famous due to his "Baby Feet" paintings.
Fudge also grows to dislike their son, also named Farley Drexel, but they call him "Mini Farley" since the nickname "Fudge" was already taken. Mini is responsible for Uncle Feather's broken wing, since he has a fascination with the bird, calling him "Nice Bird." Then on Halloween, Fudge, Mini and a neighbor named Olivia Osterman get stuck in the elevator with wacky results. In the end, they finally leave, but Mini shatters Fudge by telling him that Mini swallowed Fudge's first loose tooth.
This is the fourth in a series of books by Judy Blume about Peter Hatcher and his notorious younger brother, known by the nickname "Fudge".
