Book Reviews of Freckle Juice
Book Review: My 7 year old son howled with laughter
Summary: 4 Stars
Since his big brother had to do some summer reading - I ordered a few books for the little guy to keep up his skills. He read Superfudge a few months ago, so I charged him with reading Freckle Juice, all by himself. I told him that if he could answer 5 questions when he was done, that the last pudding pop was all his.
Never one to back down from a challenge when a pudding pop is on the line, the little guy sat down on the family room floor and started reading. As I made dinner I could hear him howling with laughter as he read.
He came running out and told me that "Andrew wanted freckles so he gave a nasty girl in his class 50 cents to buy a freckle juice formula. When he drank it he turned Green because it was so gross. Then he used a marker an put freckles all over himself, but his teacher gave him a secret formula to make them go away. I think it was just soap"
He got his pudding pop - and I even threw in a lifesaver since I was so impressed as his ability to remember fine details from the book (he could list ALL of the ingredients in the freckle juice and remembered the names of every character in the book).
Is there any great moral? In our house it's an important one - Don't blindly listen to some kid in your class. If he had read this before then we may not have suffered through the "Penny Incident" a few months ago.
This is just a cute little book that 2nd-3rd graders can easily read by themselves. There was only one word in the whole book that he needed help with.
Highly recommended for moving your kids out of the baby books and into "Chapter Books" as he likes to call them.
Book Review: My Granddaughter loved it!!!!!!!!1
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was required reading for my granddaughter when she went into the 3rd grade. Once she began reading, she couldn't put it down till she finished it. I can remember when I used to have some of the authors books written for adults and how much I enjoyed them especially one she wrote many years ago about turning 40.
My granddaughter said to give this one a "thumbs up"
thanks

Book Review: Recipe for Freckles
Summary: 4 Stars
Andrew wants freckles like Nicky Lane--especially around his neck and ears--so his mom can't tell if he needs to wash or not. But even though Nicky tells him he has to be born with them, he believes smart-aleck Sharon who has a secret recipe for getting freckles--for fifty cents. Well, Andrew can't resist this offer. And so starts his freckle-getting adventure.

Book Review: Surprising but short ( 47 pages)
Summary: 4 Stars
Andrew Marcus, a second grader, wants freckles. He buys a "freckle potion." It is made of the nastiest stuff you can think of. He even gets sick eating it. He knew he had been tricked. Then the story takes a surprising spin. To find out, read "Freckle Juice" by Judy Blume.
Book Review: Sweet And Very Funny...
Summary: 5 Stars
See story summary above. Wonderful story about a grade school boy who desperately wants to look like someone else, and in the end learns to love himself just the way he is. Wonderful way for children to learn respect and self-esteem.
Should be required reading for grades K-3.
