Publisher's summary

Nicky has freckles - they cover his face, his ears, and the whole back of his neck. Sitting behind him in class, Andrew once counted 86 of them, and that was just a start! If Andrew had freckles like Nicky, his mother would never know if his neck was dirty.

One day after school, Andrew works up enough courage to ask Nicky where he got his freckles. When know-it-all Sharon overhears, she offers Andrew her secret freckle-juice recipe - if he pays. Andrew is desperate and feels it's worth it. At home he carefully mixes the strange combination of ingredients. Then the unexpected happens....

Critic reviews

"Spontaneous humor, sure to appeal to the youngest reader." (The Horn Book Magazine)

Featured Article: On the Enduring Legacy of Judy Blume


Judy Blume's middle grade and young adult novels have helped raise generations of kids, reshaping the literary landscape for young listeners. Since the 1970s, Blume's writing has contributed to destigmatizing taboo topics like puberty, teen sexuality, masturbation, menstruation, bullying, disability, and more. And now, rather than her books being deemed outdated or no longer relevant to today's kids, we're experiencing a "Blume-aissance."

Good but………..

It’s only 24 minutes it’s great though. I just wish it was longer. I recommend Judy Blume stories.

I've loved this book for over 20 years!

Yea, it's a short book. It says how long it is in the stats. Still, it's a great book. Interesting with a lesson like all Judy Blume. I can't say how many times I cracked open this book around 2nd and 3rd grade when I was introduced to Judy Blume. This was one of my favorites. Glad I found it.
