Fudge Roundup

This is a great series for kids with younger siblings! Peter Hatcher is wholly relatable, and Judy Blume keeps it real with Sheila Tubman's drama and Fudge's misbehavior. A few more "out there" elements (e.g., Jimmy's father's fame, the Howies) make the series as a whole kind of less realistic, but it's entertaining nonetheless.

While Fudge is certainly one of the most memorable characters in these books, I do sort of wish the series wasn't named for Fudge. All the books except Sheila the Great are narrated by Peter, and it's really his experiences and perspective that we're reading about.
