Today we started a new book, Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. This is a classic story that I remember as a child in elementary school. The main character, Andrew, wants freckles just like his classmate, Nicky, so his mother will not know if his neck is dirty! Sharon, who teases others, has offered Andrew her secret freckle juice recipe. He has to pay 50 cents for this recipe that makes him sick to his stomach. Andrew does not get any freckles from this juice but decides to solve that problem on his own, but isn't sure he really wants freckles. Ask your child about Andrew and his freckle dilemma.
