Summary: Freckle Juice
Review: Did you ever want something you couldn't have? Andrew Marcus, an elementary school student, wants freckles but he can't get them. Andrew is a main character in the book called Freckle Juice written by Judy Blume.
Freckle Juice was a funny book. It just shows how far someone will go for something they want. Something you really envy about someone else they may not want for themselves. Judy Blume puts it good on paper. You should like yourself for who you are. This is a must read book.
Judy Blume has written many novels. Besides many number one bestsellers her work has been translated into twenty-something languages. Judy has inspired many young readers. She is hardworking and her work proves that.

Review: Freckle Juice by Judy Blume is a disgusting and funny book at the same time. It is about a boy named Andrew. There's a boy in his class whom Andrew wants to be like. The boy's name is Nick. Nick has freckles. Andrew wants freckles. So Andrew met a girl named Susan, who says she has a secret recipe. Its called FRECKLE JUICE!! Andrew gave Susan 50 cents for the recipe. It was so disgusting when Andrew made it. Andrew says Susan has a froggy attitude. Andrew learned a lesson that Nick was born with freckles.

Review: Freckle Juice by Judy Blume is a fantastic book for everybody to read. It is about a boy named Andrew who really wants freckles like Nick. So Susan says she will give Andrew a recipe for getting freckles, which costs 50 cents. The recipe has a lot of nasty stuff like vinegar, onion juice, ketchup, and lemon juice etc. It is also disgusting at the same time. At the end of the book Andrew learns his lesson, which is don't believe everything will work. I hope you read this book.

Review: I remember reading this when I was a kid and when I saw it on my seven year old's summer reading list, I had to buy it for him.

We have been reading the book together and we have BOTH been giggling over it. My son teases me because I have a lot of freckles -- he thought I drank some freckle juice! LOL!

Judy Blume's books are just as good as I remember them.

Summary: Decent plot but hard read-aloud
Review: My thoughts reading this to myself were that Freckle Juice is a fun early chapter book. I thought it fit in well with today's market. Frankly, it's better than many of the serial books that children are zipping through these days. The writing fairly well-paced for young readers and the dialogue is decent.

My thoughts reading it aloud to my children were that it could have been cut by half, my kids were bored and many sentences were cumbersome. It felt like there were many little add-ons that distracted my children instead of holding their attention.

Yet my 7-year-old daughter approved it and we enjoyed the clever ending.

Summary: Reviews from seven-year-olds
Review: The following reviews were written by four 7-year-olds in aclassroom book club I led. We studied reviews from Amazon.com beforethey wrote theirs to see how there can be many different opinions on one title:

Rachel says: This book is about a boy named Andrew Marcus and how he wants freckles. I think it is funny because when he gets sick and his mother sends him to bed, she gives him two spoonfuls of stuff that tasted like peppermint and he dreams that a monster makes him drink two quarts of freckle juice three times a day. I would recommend this book to a friend because it is funny.

David says: This book is about a boy named Andrew Marcus and how he want freckles. I like this book better than The One In The Middle Is The Green Kangaroo, also by Judy Blume, because it was more fun to read and I like the story better. I recommend a friend read this book.

Ashleigh says: This book is about Andrew wanting freckles like Nicky Lane. I think this book is very funny because I like drawing freckles on my face. I want everyone to have this book.

Annie says: Andrew Marcus wanted freckles like Nicky Lane. He put freckles on with a magic marker but his teacher, Miss Kelly, gave him soap and told him he was good without freckles. I don't encourage yo to buy this book with your money because it is not a good story. If you want to see what I mean, check it out at the library.

Review: This book is a good first chapter book for 2nd graders. There are 40 pages (7 of which are full page illustrations) There are more pages with half page illustrations. The book is entertaining. The particular book my kids read does not have color illustrations - the illustrations are in black and white, which my kids complained about. The story line is good. The moral of the story is "we all have things about ourselves we would like to change." It's about self acceptance. My 5th grader read this book, but he wasn't particularly thrilled about it. My 3rd grader liked it much better. There are a lot of color descriptions in the book and it would probably be better served with color illustrations. That is why I reduced it 1 star. We compensated for this by drawing color pictures for the pages that had good color descriptions. This is a good story, I remember reading it in elementary school. You don't forget this one soon for some reason, probably because it's one of the first chapter books kids read and, in my case, it was a leap above the "Pug, Jan, and Ted" of my younger days.

Summary: This book is funny!
Review: 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.

Review: This book was kind of cute, but there was nothing really outstanding about it. It would be good for a kid who didn't like his mother washing and inspecting his face.
