One of the issues in Double Fudge is embarrassment because when the “Natural Beauties” (Fauna and Flora, Peter’s cousins. That take turns talking for their younger brother Mini) sing in front of Peter’s school. He feels “sick” and has to go to the nurse. Another issue in Double Fudge is conflict. I think this because when Fudge (Peter’s younger brother that is naughty and funny) finds out that someone else in his family has the same name as him.So he starts to fight with him.So he starts to fight with him. Another issue in Double Fudge is honesty because when Mini(Fauna and Flora’s younger brother that is naughty and has the same personality as Fudge when he was little) “accidentally” lets Uncle Feather (Fudge’s mina bird that likes to speak French and likes to say bad words like: “Bonjour stupid!”) out of his cage he admits that he did it.
A summary of Double Fudge is in the the beginning Fudge discovered money by asking Peter (Fudge’s older brother that is intelligent and a great friend) how much New York City is. And in the middle the Hatcher’s find their long lost cousins in D.C. With a kid that has the exact same name as Fudge! And close to the end Fudge, Mini, and Mrs.Osterman (a really nice woman and friendly to everyone) got stuck in the elevator on Halloween!
Double Fudge is a brilliant story that I recommend for all children around the world. I especially recommend this story for all elementary school and middle school age children.
