Summary: 5 Stars
I like the book because Andrew got the recpie and made it because after he drank it he didn't have freckles. Then he put some magic marker that was bue on his face. Why did he do that instead of brwn magic marker? I just love the book I read.Book Review: The first of many attempts to self medicate
Summary: 4 Stars
This was one of the very first books I remember reading as a child. I found the whole situation to be so funny and yet so haunting at the same time. Andrew, the dorky kid who just wanted to fit in, mooning over the kid in class with all the freckles and wishing he could have them. He falls under the shrewish Sharon, who dupes him into believing her magic elixor will make him have those freckles that he so wanted to have. Instead it made him sick, and he returns to school a day later with blue marker on his face in a vain attempt to show the world that he managed to grow those magic freckles he so wanted.
As a child, I had no idea what this was all about, but it's so obvious as an adult. Andrew, the outsider who just wants to fit in and be cool and accepted like the other kids. Sharon, the pusher with her bewtiching perfumes and veils, who is bent on control and lures the unsuspecting lambs to the slaughter in with her promises and her "magic potions" that will make you feel so good. How ironic that the boy with those freckles that Andrew so lusted after actually doesn't like them and wished he could erase them. That carried over into adulthood with avengence - the grass is always greener on the other side, don't fall for some unachievalbe body image, and just say no. It's sweet, a way to tell people that they should like themselves just the way they are.
Book Review: The greatest book in the whole world!

Summary: 4 Stars
This book is interesting because Nicky has freckles and Andrew wants them. He wants them so he doesn't have to take a bath or wash his neck. Andrew asks Sharon for the secret recipe for freckle juice. Read this story to find out what happens. I am in second grade, and I felt that it was interesting and funny. I would read this book again.
