Hi my is Haley. I chose you as my author for our class author study because I love your books and I love Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I am 9 years old, I live in Kentucky, and I am funny.
The first book I read was Fudge-a-Mania. What I liked about the book was when Peter ate a fly and was a part of the I.A.A.F club. I have questions for you for the book I read. How did you come up with this book idea? Also how did you come up with the characters? I have some questions about you. What was your favorite author when you grew up and what was your favorite subject in school? Also when is your next book coming out and how old were you when you started writing?

Love,
Haley

Hi Judy Blume I just got finished reading tales of a forth grade nothing at school it was a very funny book to read....now I am starting to read another book of yours called fudge-a-mania so far I am on chapter 2 chapter 1 was funny when Fudge kept saying pee-tah instead of peter that was my favouite part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also my favouite part in the book tales of a fourth grade nothing was when the dad poured the cereal on Fudges head cause he was acting like the family pet dog it was very funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Miss Blume, Tiger Eyes has always been one of my favorite books by you and I've been wondering for almost 13 years: Did Davey ever get to see Wolf again?

Babs

I just started In The Unlikely Event and the second paragraph says "...dials her fifteen-year-old daughter, Eliza, at school, but gets her machine". This is 1987. I find it "unlikely" that a 15 year old would have a cell phone in 1987. Help! I can't get past this. What was Judy thinking?

Kim

I was watching @Midnight last night and while I can't remember the context of why the answer was ''Are You There God, It's Me Margaret (going through menopause' - I thought Brillaint! You YA books first came out when I was growing up and how amazing it would be to revisit some of those characters as they aged like your readers. Who did they all grow up to be?

Dear Ms. Blume,

Hello my name is Jack and I am a third grade student at Johnson Elementary School in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. I am a big fan of your books. I first chose your books because my second grade teacher recommended them. So I read them all the time. You are a very good author.

The first book of yours I read was, Double Fudge. I enjoyed reading it because it was funny. My favorite part of the book was when Fudge tried using his fake money. This made me wonder how you get your ideas for writing. I have another question too, when did you first start writing your books?

Thank you for reading my letter. I like writing books like you. How did you get your books published so other people can read them? Also, do you have any other books that are going to be published soon?

Thanks for writing great books,
Jack

What is your favorite book you've written? Can you write a nother Fudge and Peter book? How did you come up with the name Fudge and Peter ? Thank you Love Talia : )

Dear Judy Blume,
I am a fan of your books - especially the ones about Fudge and Peter Hatcher. I like Fudgemania and Double Fudge the best. But I was wondering if you were writing another book about Fudge and Peter. I'd love that. I have a few ideas - ignore them if they are useless.
Peter, Fudge, Mum, Dad, Tutsi, Grandma Mureul Sheila, Sheila's grandfather, Henry the building manager, and Olivia Osterman all go down to Soho for the day for Beverley and Frank Fargo's wedding. It's a disaster, because Anita - Frank's ex - turns up and apologises to Frank, and explains why she had to leave. It's a good reason and Frank, Peter and Jimmy all feel really guilty for getting angry at her. Then Frank has to choose between Beverly and Anita. The decision is yours!
Soon afterwards, Olivia Osterman celebrates her 100th birthday, and Peter buys another dog. A smaller dog. Fudge wants to call it Mr Money, but Peter calls it Rufus George. Georgey or Rufus for short.
Mr Fargo's art career drops dramatically, and they can't afford their apartment anymore. So they move into Beverley's or Anita's home,which is near Peter's apartment.
And Jimmy accidentally lets Peter's crush he likes her, and they end up together, going on dates. But after time, Peter gets a crush on the new girl at school. And his girlfriend finds out...
Then there is Fudge. Fudge, Fudge, Fudge, Fudge, Fudge. He is in prep this year, and is flunking everything. Maths, English, the lot! Even P.E. It turns out "Rat Face" is his teacher, but nobody recognizes her. So, plotting revenge, she flunks him at everything he has. But when Parent/Teacher Interviews are organized, she accidentally slips some information about her old kindergarten, where Fudge went. Then Tutsi sees a mouse on a poster on one of the walls, and says "rat", just when mum says "you're face, it's looks like", meaning "familiar". Then it clicks.
Oh and Tutsi can speak sentences. And Grandma Mureul and Buzy Senior take a two-month long cruise on a very romantic ship. Each day, the Hatchers and the Tudmans get postcodes. One of which says that Buzy Senior had a heart-attack, but survived and will make a full recovery.
Then, when they return, the Hatchers, the Tudmans, and the Fargos all go to Florida and to all the fancy rainforest-y places with the Howies. And Mini Farley can speak too. And Howie and Udora are "TV vegetables", but have their outdoorsy activities keeping them fit. A LONG holiday too, into the next year and all.
On the trip, Tutsi turns five, or six, or four or something. And Peter celebrates his birthday too. He gets a Caramel Cake from the Howies, and from his parents he gets books, a new laptop, and a fancy bike. He turns 13. And from the Tudmans he gets the new dog - spoken about earlier... the one he calls Rufus George.
Oh, and Judy Blume, if possible, please don't make anyone die. I don't think I would be able to cope with such news. Not Mureul, not Buzy, not Olivia, nobody please.
Thank you,
P.S, you don't have to write another book, I just think it would be nice. Oh, and please don't make it your last, if you write one.
Thank you.
Goodbye, Judy Blume.

Joy Sweeny

,Dear Judy Blume.....Thanks for this book. I was born and raised in Elizabeth,attended Battin, shopped at Levy's and Goerke's. sledded on Wyoming Ave, skated at Dreamland and Twin Cities. I graduated Battin 1946 . Phylliis Kirkgaard and I were in dramatics ( she starred, I didn't) I remember the three plane crashes and the fear everyone experienced when a plane flew over Elizabeth afterward. It was something one does not forget. I am appoaching 87 and this book was perfect , reviving all the treasured memories of my home town.......Thank you again. Joy(ce) Paulmenn Sweeny

Maerbear

Dear Judy Blume,
Hello! I cant believe I am writing to you. I love your books and so does my mom, I am a triplet so I am trying to get them to read your books to. My favorite book of yours is "are you there go it's me, Margret?". Right now I have read: sally freedman starring herself, are you there god its me Margret, Its not the end of the world, Iggies house, Blubber. Every time I would read a book I would decide that one was my favorite but it would change at the next book I read. I looked on your website and I recently had been inspired to start writing my own stories and maybe even take notes in a notebook. Thank you for bringing reality for some of the middle school books you have written, I wouldn't want to be reading abut fairies right now. Maybe I will email you again to tell you my progress on my stories. Sincerely Maeren (age:11)

In Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, how could Fudge swallow a turtle at his age? Your book was not bad. I would thank you if you told me why you chose to write that in the ending.

yiftach

hello judy,

my name is yiftach and i am 7 years old. i wrote in hebrew what i wanted to tell you and my mother translated it. i just finished reading your books about 'pain and great'. it was the most funny, interesting, great books i have ever read! the situation in jerusalem isn't easy these days and i spend a lot of time at home without doing much. your books made me laugh a lot, especially when i read about jake - 'the pain'- and his only-white food. when i finished reading the three books i asked my mom to take me to the library, so i could borrow another book of my favourite sister and brother, but my mom said there are only three books.that made me very sad. i want to thank you for the wonderful time i had reading your books and to request one thing: please, write another book of 'the pain and great'! i will be the first one to read it! thank you for writing for us,kids, about our life, home, family and feelings. i would also want to know, how do you remember so well what children think and feel. thank you and שלום shalom. yiftach

Ms. Blume: I wanted to take the time to thank you for introducing me to the art of the written word. As a youngster, your children's books were the first novels I read, and I have been an avid reader since then. Because of your books, I developed a love for reading and writing, which has helped shape my career as an attorney. Reading your books opened me up to a magical and creative world that honestly changed my life. Again, thank you for sharing your gift with others. God bless you!

Diva

Dear Judy,
My name is Diva, I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia - wondering if you ever heard about my country. I know you already heard a lot of praise for your superb works but I just wanted to tell you ever since I read 'Are You There, God, it's me Margaret' til'In the Unlikely Event' that you are very inspiring. I love how the words flew to my mind when i read your books, made me not think about the time that passed and how I really wanted to tell stories like you, captivating the readers. Excuse my bad English, but I just really wanted to tell you that. I hope you have a very great life. With Love, Diva

Hello Judy Blume!!!
I've been a fan of yours, well since forever it seems like, but really since I read my first Judy Blume book when I was 8 years old. Our teacher read us The One in The Middle is the Green Kangaroo out loud in class and then showed us where we could find more of your books in the library. I checked out Freckle Juice first and even tried to follow the recipe. I believe the summer between 3rd and 4th grade is when I really buckled down and read most of your books. My family moved overseas and the base library had all your books. We only had one English language tv channel and none of our toys had arrived yet, so all I could do was read every single day as it was the rainy season and we couldn't play outside in the rain, not too mention that we didn't have any friends yet as everyone was stuck inside. Anyway, yesterday I found myself at Urgent Care and the nurse practitioner was asking me questions about my mom's health history in the hopes that it may shed some light on my current situation. Unfortunately I didn't have any answers for him because my mom never ever talked about those things with me. I tried to explain to him so I said "No, she was a traditional Mexican mom and didn't even discuss puberty with me let alone things that happen later in life to us women. Everything I know, I learned from Judy Blume and now Google." He nodded sympathetically and said, " Well, we all need a best friend, don't we?" I just smiled at him. Clearly he never read the Fudge books or perhaps as a boy he didn't know your name by heart. It's true though, like many girls I learned most of what I needed to know from your books. I've read every single one and when I saw your most recent book at Barnes and Noble over the summer I honestly squealed with delight, I have witnesses!! I have all your children's books and young adult books in my classroom library too. You're such an amazing author, thank you for sharing your stories with all of us.

Alegria R

I am over whelmed with happiness! I have found you! Ever since I was about 7 years old I have been reading your books! Your books got me through a lot of hard times and punishments!(laugh) When I was a child I read till my eyes hurt,but it was your books Ms.Blume that gave me the desire to read! I went through a lot of abuse and reading gave me an escape . Put together so beautifully,so perfect! reading one of your books brings words to life (the imagination). Reading is like living it! I am now twenty years old and am in the process of writing my first book!! I also want to be an author for a variety of ages, I grew up reading your books and it inspired me and gave me life! Following in your footsteps I hope one day to meet you with book in hand! I thank you for your contribution to the literary world your mind is INCREDIBLE! I hope to meet you very soon Ms.Blume!

Dawn

Hello Judy! I am a few decades late in finally writing to you but I just had to let you know that I read all of your books as a pre-teen and teenager and your writing and stories mean as much to me today as they did back then. As a young girl, it was quite empowering to read one of your books and realize someone actually "gets" you. Please know the lasting power of your writing and thank you, thank you, thank you for your honesty, humor and sensitivity! You are unmatched in the literary world! All the best to you and yours!
