Dear Judy,
I have so enjoyed your master classes as I write my third novel. I published my first novel in June 2020 with KDP. I plan to release the second book February 2021. I am a poet who has turned to fiction. I grew up reading your books, Judy. You are one of the most influential writers of my life. I have taught English in title-one schools for over twenty years, until this year... I've taken a leave of absence to focus on my writing career and to keep my family safe in this pandemic. One thing that struck me was when you talked about your writing practices, saying you couldn't write super early in the morning unless you were teaching or working a job or something. I want to share that last year, when my son left home for college, I would wake up at three a.m. to write before going to school to teach all day. I would conjure up Trollope who wrote before delivering mail. ha. It was a weird year, for sure, but worth it. I finished the book and published it. When school cancelled in March, I wrote the second book. Now I'm focusing on the third. Thank you for your master classes. Thank you for your words. Your books have meant the world to me and I listen to everything you say as I write this third novel in the series while I prepare to publish the second novel. I have tried to garner a lit. agent to no success but that's not stopping me. My books have been well-received by my readers which is delightful. I am determined to continue this last, late life career path because what you said is true. Writing is how I figure out life. My characters are as real to me as my own students were... and they are pushy! I hope this message finds you well. Looking forward to reading more of your books. Sincerely grateful, Elizabeth

Dear Ms. Blume,
How have you been? I love your books. In fact, I read the whole series twice. I just started "Double Fudge" I have realized that in the last few books the Hachers travel somewhere. And so I thought maybe they should travel to Colorado and maybe this time there is actually is a forest between the Hachers and the Tubman's because maybe they came to.
sincerely, Sam

My name is Maria Biglikoudi and I currently teach Grade 4 in a private school in Cyprus.
This year in my class we started reading and analyzing the 'Tales of A Fourth Grade Nothing' as part of our English lesson. I cannot describe how much they adored the story and the characters.
As we are finishing studying the book very soon, I would like to invite you in an online meeting with my class. The children will be very excited to see you and speak to you.
From your side, our connection will not take more that 40 minutes. However, will last for many years in the heart and memory of my pupils.
I would be grateful if you consider my invitation and I look forward to discuss the details of our remote meeting.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Maria Biglikoudi

My daughters are now in their 30s BUT they grew up in Southwest Harbor, bought their bikes at the bike shop, cookies at Sawyers Market and went to Pemetic School. Reading Fudge-A-Mania and seeing their little town in print was a celebration of their daily lives. Thank you.
Coline
Dear Mrs Blume,
I've been reading your books for a long time now. The firsts ones were the stories of Petter and Fudge, "Mousse" in French, as in "chocolate mousse"... by the time I was 8 and I didn't quite get that.
Now, I am a 34 years old mom of a 3 years old girl.
Lately, I have been re reading your books (but now I can read them in english wich is so much better) and I'm thinking, while reading, that I hope my daughter will enjoy them as much as I do and that they will help her getting through life as a kid the way they helped me back then.
Thank you for all those things.
Sincerely
Coline

I actually remembered reading Double Fudge when I was in elementary school many years ago! I was trying to recall books I enjoyed as a child so I could inspire my own daughter to read. I enjoyed your books so much I still remembered the word Fudge and the book cover 20+ years later.
I hope you're doing well and to read more of your work in the future!

Dear Judy,
I hope this finds you well. It's such a joy watching you on Masterclass and going with you through your journey of writing. You're so full of life. I keep revisiting your videos. Everything you say is so relatable. I love how you describe the plane crash and journalism in those days. I'm immediately go back to my growing up days (pre-internet) and now want to put that into my writiing. Thank you so much for inspiring me. I'm very drawn to your simplicity of expression and your body language. So much at ease. Thanks for making these lessons totally worth my time. I love your handwriting. Prefer it much more to the print. You should think about printing it as is 😊. Stay well Judy.

Dear Mrs.Blume,
My whole class and I just finished Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing. I really loved it. I loved the characters Peter and Fudge. They are so funny but at the end it was sad. Afterwards, I was surprised because Peter got a dog. Fudge ate Dribble and he died and that's why Peter got a dog.
Skylar
Dear Ms.Blume,
I loved Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing. It is funny and Fudge is so crazy. At the end it is sad because Fudge ate Dribble. My favorite part was when Peter got a dog at the end.

Dear Judy Blume,
My class just finished Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.My favorite character was Fudge. I loved him because the way he called Peter Pe-tah. Another character I loved is Mrs.Yarby and the way she reacted to Peter's turtle.One question I have is what will your next book be called? Will it have Peter and his family? those are some questions I have for you.
Giulia

Braylon
Dear Judy Blume,
I think Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is a very good book. If you make a part two it would be cool if you did it from a different perspective or add a new character. You could also have them go to a friends house or a special event like a Halloween one. That's what I wanted to tell you.
Chase

I really think Fudge is a really cool character and I think you're a great author.My favorite book that you made was Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.My favorite part was when Fudge got cereal on his head.
