Well, here we are, at the finish. Our visit with Peter and Fudge started in 1972, and though we followed them through four years of their childhood, it took 30 years to tell their stories. Published in 2002, this book keeps up with modern times, including references to Harry Potter and instant messaging.
Fudge continues with his antics, though he gets a taste of his own medicine when the Hatchers meet their long-lost relatives, a family with a little boy who gives Fudge a run for his money. Peter's friendship with Jimmy Fargo continues to develop, but mostly this book is about Fudge and the Howies, as Peter calls the long-lost relatives. Following the trend of the last couple books, the whole business with the Howies and the Heavenly Hatchers was just so over the top! Entertaining, yes, but not quite as relatable as the earlier books in the series.
