Double Fudge - Judy Blume

It's new (okay, maybe not so new),it's funny, it's.....Double Fudge! I know what you're thinking:Double Fudge?!?! But actually, it's not that bad. In fact, it's great! So here's the story: Peter Hatcher,age 12, has a little brother. His is Farley Drexel (more commonly known as Fudge) , and he is a disaster! Lately, he's been having an obsession with money, and plans to buy Toys R Us...eventually. If you're like Peter, this may sound familiar. The entire family decides to go to Washington D.C. for a weekend trip to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving (that's where money is made).
They thought it would cure Fudge of his money obsession, but boy, were they wrong! Instead of curing him he just got more engrossed with money. Peter is devastated, and just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, they meet their long lost cousins. Peter now must put up with the twins, Flora and Fauna, and their little brother. His name is Farley Drexel, just like Fudge! What on earth is Peter going to do? If you are feeling gloomy, or maybe you just want a good laugh, this book is a must-read!

Note:I hereby insist that you must read every age appropriate kid's book by Judy Blume you can get your hands on. She is a really good author!
