Double Fudge is an amazing book. Can you write another fudge book

Kathleen

Did you write the book "Dear God Am I Living In A Stephen King Book?"
If so, is it still in print? I would love to add it to my Stephen King collection if I can find it.

Ms. Blume,
My class REALLY loves your Fudge books. After we read Double Fudge, they were begging for more!! Since he is only about 5, you could really continue with the series.

Coraline

Hi Judy Blume it's me again! I'm reading "Just as long as we're together" and I have an idea for a book about Alison and the title is: The one and only Maizie , the talking dog! I forgot to tell you I also like Superfudge!
Thank you, Coraline.

maybe you could write a book about a girl who wants to be something but is restricted to do so because of unfair laws that don't give women and girls many choices.

Coraline

I Love your books my favourites are: Tales of a fourth grade nothing, Otherwise known as sheila the great, Double Fudge< Starring Sally J. Freedman as herself and Deenie
Thank you, Coraline.

Judy, you made me feel wonderful as a kid. You gave me a world to escape to that made me laugh and was filled with peers, laughter and New York city. As a grown up, I love watching your master class. You capture the details of life in a way that fills me with awe. Thank you.

Hi Judy! I LOVE your books! Your books have inspired me to be a reader! I'm wondering where I can purchase your books in French? I attend French Immersion school and with the COVID-19 lockdown, I don't have access to my school's French library and our local public library does not have your books in the French language. I need to keep up my French reading practice while school is cancelled until next year. Thanks, Judy! I hope you write more books for teenage girls!

Hi Judy you have inspired me to write my own fudge book

I distinctly remember discovering your books in Grade 2 in the late 2019. I had finally found an author that I loved. Up until your books I had read because I had too - not because I wanted to, but when I found your novels I finally had a love of reading. I understood for the first time that writers have styles, and that if you like one of their books, you'll probably like their others - I had never considered that before.
I went to an all girls Catholic boarding school and we only had 1 copy of each of your books in the library. Sometimes you would be on the wait list for 6 weeks till it was your turn to borrow, and triumphantly you would go back to the dorm to start reading, under the jealous gaze of those still on the waitlist!
So I wanted to thank you for developing my love of reading and opening the doors of fiction reading for me.

Fast forward 25 years, I now have 4 children of my own and have realised over the past few years that I would love to write a book myself. I started on a book last year and subscribed to Masterclass to learn from James Patterson. You can only imagine my delight when I saw that you had also done a writing course on there!
I am probably half way through your course and I have to say, I think you have fuelled my desire to write even further. I was lacking confidence that I wasn't formally trained at writing - but when you said 'maybe you should read 40 great novels rather than attend 40 classes' it restored my confidence.

I love that I experienced your books as a young adult, but now as an adult I get to see the science behind how they came together, it feels like a beautiful full circle moment in life. So thank you for sharing so generously your writing process and your notebooks, you are a truly inspirational woman, and I promise if my novel gets published I will send you your very own copy! Thank you for sharing your gift you have impacted more lives than you know. Thank you.

Hi Judy Me,My Sister Emma,My Sister Jassie,My Sister Maddie & Our Friend Chrissi <3 Your Books! Please Make More!

Stacy

Mrs. Blume, I am just writing this to express my gratitude to you. Your books were so fun for me to read as a young girl, and now I have the opportunity to read them with my daughter. I have been able to escape the worries of our current days and be reminded of how fun it is to read together. This quarantine stuff isn't so bad when making sweet memories with my little. Thankful for your imagination!

Lola

Dear Judy Blume,
Hiii! I love your books so much. I like when there is a problem, because I always want to know what happens next. My teacher taught me that this is called the conflict. Please write more books. I can not stop reading your stories. I wish your books were longer because they are so good! The characters are awesome, especially Fudge who is very funny. Fudge is funny because he said he wanted "worm ice cream!" You are the best author ever!
Sincerely,
Lola

Xanthi

My dearest Judy,
I am lucky enough to read your books during the difficult era of the covid quarantine. When I was a child we only had half a dozen of your books in Greece but now as an adult I travelled and I acquired them, I am as excited as I was when I was little and they help me be optimistic and smiling. Thank you so much&#127799;

Margo

Dear Judy Blume,

I love your book Freckle Juice because it is so funny. I tried making Freckle Juice myself and it looked like salad dressing! You are a great author and have inspired me to write my own books. One of the books I wrote is called "Little Annoying: A Viking's Diary."

P.S. My mom says you were her favourite author when she was a kid. She became a writer, too.

Sincerely,

Margo L

Hey Judy I love Keeping in touch with my friends & teachers And It get's kinda boring Because Schools are shut down because of the caronavirus/COVID-19 I hate It

Ellie

Judy, I absolutely love your books. Since quarantine for the coronavirus has started, I have read Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself, Then Again, Maybe I Won't, and Just As Long As We're Together in one week. Your books are so well written and timeless. Thank you so much for doing what you do!

Isabella Izzy

Hello, My name is Isabella. My mother told me that when is was little her favorite book was tales of the 4th grade nothing. So we started reading all the Fudge books online for free and now I am hooked on your books and would love to read more. We have been trying to find more of your books online to read for free during this time. With all the schools being closed and our local library too its hard to find books to read. I would really like to read a few more of your stories. Are you there god? it's me Margaret sounds like a great book. Maybe you can send me a copy or email it to me to read. Along with other books you might think a 6th grade girl would enjoy while I am staying home and love to read! Thank you so much please stay well. Sincerely Isabella

Emily

HI!
Although I haven't read all of your books,I am certainly hearing all about them!! Since I am doing a project for school about books for teenagers in the 70's and 80's, your name and your books have popped up with every single source I've found in my research so far. I think that it is so amazing how important you are to readers and book experts everywhere. Thank you so much for sharing your stories through your books!

Jastin

Judy Blume,
I love your fudge books. My mom says they were her favorite books growing up. Please, keep writing.

Hi Ms. Blume! I have recently read Superfudge and a version of your biography and I LOVED them both!! I love Fudge and Peter! Fudge is so funny! It was funny when fudge climbed on top of the cabinits on the cubbies in class and called his teacher Ratface! My school has most of the fudge books and that's where I got Superfudge! I just got Tales of a fourth grade nothing and Double fudge in the mail today from Barnes and Noble! So far, I love Tales of a Fourth grade nothing and can;t wait to read Double Fudge! I liked your biography because it was funny when your first book got published and you threw the sand in the air and your kid's friend when she went home crying telling her mother you had gone crazy! To me. It was also funny in Superfudge when fudge's bird said "Bonjour Stupid to everybody! Anyway, I was wondering: will fudge ever grow up to be like Peter.. Probably not right?! Anyway, i can't wait to see if you write another book! And to see what Fudge and Peter do next! I think you're terrific!
Annie

Hello, Judy, my name is Hunter. I'm a big fan of your book. I love your writing style, and I love your Super Fudge series. I think the best part is when Fudge eats the turtle. I just wanted to write to you because I wanted you to know there another fan of your book out there.

Marty

I wanted to send a message to encourage you and others as you have been able to do so often with your books. Reading allows an escape and you were the one I enjoyed reading the most when I was young. I can trace my decision to write to having read Tiger Eyes (multiple times) and thinking how much I wanted to write like you. I finally am, and I wanted to say a long delayed THANK YOU!

Marco

Hi judy, Ive always loved your Fudge series since I was a kid, Im 23 now and I still pine for more fudge! Ill be reading your more adult novels in lieu of #Fudge2020

Hi, Judy i love your book they make me really happy and joyful, keep up the great work!!

Hello Mrs Blume,
I'm writing you from France. I have been a huge fan since I started reading your books (those which have been translated into French) at the age of (I would say) 11. I never forgot you and your books. Because you helped me a lot in many ways. You helped me as a teenager. I had nowhere else to look at that time to learn about love and other matters. I couldn't ask my parents and I was too shy to talk to anyone else. I got my answers in your books. I have been ok with my scoliosis ever since thanks to your book as well. And after I have read everything you wrote at that time, I told myself I would write when I get older to spread some positive messages to the youth. This is what I just started to do. And of course, this made me think about the great writer you are.
Please excuse my mistakes in English, and one more time, thank you very much. You are such an inspiration to me.

Angel

Hi Judy. I am in grade 10 of high school and want to start a novel and/or children's book. I am interested in how you started writing and what your processes are. Thank you for your beautiful books.

James

Hi Judy!
I love all of your books that I have read from your Fudge series. I am currently reading Superfudge and it makes me laugh out loud. Please please please write more books about Fudge, Peter and Tootsie...and Uncle Feathers!

Debra

I didn't read your books growing up but my 66 year old sister did. She use to talk about how after our father died, your books got her through the hard times. She's been a nurse for over 20 years and I attribute your bookstore her peace of mind. I am buying your younger books for my nieces so they can appreciate the love of books their aunt had and still have to this day. Thank you and God Bless you.

Lucy

Dear Judy Blume,
I just LOVE your book Blubber. I was wondering, did you like writing the book? I can kind of relate to the book because I'm just a little bit in the place of jill. I started reading your books when my school my class was reading your book Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I loved at the end of the book Blubber you wrote about how your daughter was in the place of Rochelle, and like many of the other kids in her class she was scared that she could become the next victom of the bully, and that you should tell a trusted adult if something is going on. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all that you have done for me!

George

I am teaching my third graders using your books. We have completed 5 of your books and have started Superfudge. I can record myself reading and only send it to them. Do you do classroom interviews via zoom?

Kaitlin

Dear Judy,

From "Freckle Juice" and "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" to "Forever" and "Smart Women", it never fails to amaze how much your stories have influenced my life as a reader or the ways in which your stories nurtured and guided readers throughout the generations. It's rare to find an author who forges such a seamless connection with their readers, regardless of where they are in their lives and the experiences they're facing or are on the verge of facing. Yet story after story, you have been there to provide a genuine portrayal of the joys, anxieties, fears and confusions that we face growing up. Just last week, I finished reading "In the Unlikely Event" and it astounded me how the simple act of picking up your book was like getting acquainted with a beloved friend. For all your stories and the lessons we absorb from them, thank you.

Sincerely,

Kaitlin

Valerie

Hi there! With all of the schools being shut down (I teach 2nd grade) we had almost finished Otherwise Known... would you allow me to finish reading this book and possibly the other books in the Fudge series? My students absolutely love these books and I would love to continue reading these with them each day. I would be recording through google classroom so only my students would see it.

Evelyn H

Judy Blume, your books are the best. I love reading your books. They are truly extraordinary. Your books take me on a emotional roller coaster, especially "Blubber." That was a real twist. I just wanted you to know that your books is just what the world needs. Without you, I would probably be reading boring books. I just appreciate your work. Keep writing!

Marie

Hi Judy,

I am currently teaching remotely to my 3rd graders. We have read Superfudge and Double Fudge so far this year together and we have started Fudge-A-Mania. I was reaching out to ask if I could have permission to video myself (from my phone) continuing our class read aloud of Fudge-A-Mania and only send this video to my students? I know that it would brighten their days during this difficult time.

Regards,

Marie

Marie

Hi Judy,

Along with some of the messages below. I am also wondering if I could have permission to video (from my phone) myself reading "Fudge-A-Mania" and send only to my students? I am teaching remotely and I know it would brighten my students days if we got to continue our Hatcher adventure (this is our 3rd read-aloud book we are reading together this year by you!).

Thank you!

Marie

Andrea

HI! I am a fourth grade teacher. I was wondering if I could get your permission to read one of your books as a read aloud to my class on our class dojo ( a closed site that I use to communicate with my class). I thought this might be a nice way for me to connect with my students during this difficult time since we can't be in school. I didn't want to go against any copyright rules so I wanted to reach out to you. Thanks.

Desmond

Dear Judy Blume, we just wanted to thank you for Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. And, tell you that we sent you a movie trailer for the book to your email. We hope you like it.
Sincerely, Desmond D.

Hi Judy,
As a retired 4th grade teacher who taught 30 years in Arlington County, VA, I want to THANK YOU for entertaining me and my students for years and years with your Fudge series.
As I began to reconnect with them as adults on Facebook they would ask me if I still did my " Fudgie" voice. I told them I did! I last read the series to my grandsons when they were in 4th grade a couple of years ago.
During this crazy, scary time I have had the desire to reach out to my KIDS who now have their own kids and read to them some familiar tales of Fudge, but I wouldn't without your permission.So I need to ask you how I might do that. It would mean so much to them and to me.
THANK YOU again for creating this DELIGHTFUL family and their adventures!!!
