My physical copy of Freckle Juice came home today. I wasn't planning on reading it today but contemplated when I saw how thin it was and had to figure out why, and now I know the answer:
Freckle Juice is such a lovable and timeless children's book that tackles insecurities and acceptances without harming races. I love how Judy Blume carefully crafted each scene and came into a neat conclusion. It reminded me so much of Anne of Green Gables in that particular scene where Anne wanted to have a raven black hair... we all know how it ended. Tragically, yes. This is a highly enjoyable book for children and adults.

Andrew wants freckles to hide the dirt on his neck. Nicky has all the luck, with a face full of freckles. Andrew will stop at nothing to get his own freckles, even paying icky Sharon 50 cents for a special Freckle Juice recipe. Read to find out if this recipe is the answer to all of Andrew’s hopes.
Reread this old favourite last night. I loved it for the nostalgia it brought, but as a whole, I think I was slightly disappointed.
I thought this book was a bit weird when I read it as a kid

A children’s story about learning to love ourselves—whether we were born with freckles or not.

Great read from my childhood and my daughter loved it just as much! Blume is great at capturing the wonder of being a child, and doesn't sell the children short on their intelligence. Wonderful read!
