Freckle Juice by Judy Blume
4.25
funny hopeful fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Freckle Juice is about a kid named Andrew who wants freckles.  He looks at Nicky's freckles because he wants them.  A classmate, Sharon, shares a disgusting recipe with Andrew.  Andrew went home to try the recipe and drinks it.  It doesn't work and makes him sick.  I liked that Andrew wants to look better and express himself. The book made me laugh because Sharon made a fake recipe and I thought Andrew believed in so much, he was gullible. I thought the book was kinda long and I wish it was 10 pages shorter.  I gave it that many stars because I liked the idea and that this could actually happen.  I like the illustrations too.
