Superfudge

Style and Technique

In «Superfudge», Judy Blume masterfully creates the atmosphere of lively family life, filling the narrative with genuine warmth and subtle humor. The language of the novel is simple and expressive, rich in vivid dialogues that capture the true voice of childhood. The author uses light, almost weightless descriptions, allowing the reader to feel every emotion of the characters—their joys and worries. The book’s structure unfolds in a series of episodes, connected by the inner logic of growing up and change, with each chapter serving as a self-contained vignette that reveals the characters and their relationships. Blume skillfully employs internal monologue, letting the reader into the main character’s thoughts, and uses irony and keen observation to highlight the comic and touching sides of everyday life. The result is a harmonious, dynamic narrative in which ordinary events gain special meaning and depth.
