Review on "Friend or Fiend?" by Judy Blume (Both Juv. Fic. Chapter Book Series)

"Friend or Fiend? With the Pain & the Great One" by Judy Blume

 "Friend or Fiend; With the Pain and the Great One" by Judy Blume was actually an interesting book I guess you could say, but only contains only has 109 short pages in it's 7 stories. The whole book itself is pretty much 7 stories. It all starts with the introduction; Meet the Pain. "The pain is what Abigail, "The Pains" big sister, calls him. And then there's "The Great One". That's Abigail. But that's what "The Pain", Jake, calls his big sister. The both introduce themselves in the book for an understanding of their complicated relationship and the way they comprehend their sibling. Abigail stating her brother Quote on Quote;
                                        
"My brother's name is Jacob Edward but everyone calls him Jake.  
Everyone but me. I call him the Pain because that's what he is. He's a first-grade
pain. And he will always be a pain-even if he lives if he lives to be one hundred
years old. Even then, I'll be 2 years older than him. I'll still know more about
everything. And I'll always know exactly what he's thinking. That's just the way
 it is." 

  And Jake (The Pain) says, also Quote on Quote, about his sister;

"My sister's name is Abigail. I call her The Great One because she
  thinks she's so great. She says "I don't think it, I know it!" When she says
  that I laugh like crazy. Then she gets mad. It's fun to make her mad.
  Who cares if she's in third grade and I'm just in first?"

     As you can see the 2 main characters have a lot of sibling conflict throughout the book. But with this books easy reading, fun stories, hilarious plots and great lessons, this book is perfect for kids with siblings, young ones, and even older ones. I would diffidently  recommend this book. 4 stars.
