Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

The name of a book I read is Tales Of a Fourth Grade Nothing by: Judy Blume. The story takes place in modern New York. The characters are Peter,a 9-year-old boy, and his brother Fudge, a 2-year-old boy. The problem is that Fudge keeps on messing up everything and gets all the attention, and makes Peter fell like nothing.
For example, at the park Peter's mom leaves Fudge and puts a girl named Shelia Tubman in charge of Fudge. Then Shelia goofs off and plays and Fudge climbs to the top of a playground and tries to fly. But he can't so he fell down and knocked his two front teeth out. But Peter's mom blamed Peter even though Shelia was in charge of Fudge. This made peter feel like nothing.
Another example of Fudge getting all the attention and making Peter feel like nothing is when they went to the dentist and the nurse pays more attention to Fudge than Peter. Then Fudge won't open his mouth and the dentist uses Peter to make Fudge open his mouth. This makes Peter feel like nothing.
At the end of the book. Peter's problem is solved when Fudge eats Peter's turtle. . And he goes to the hospital and everyone pays attention to Fudge but when they get the turtle out, Peter's parents realized that they been letting Fudge take all the attention and to make it up to Peter they get him a dog. Then Peter feels like something.
