Summary: Decent plot but hard read-aloud
Review: This thing won't let me edit my stars...but I meant to put 4!!

My thoughts reading this to myself were that Freckle Juice is a fun early chapter book (which is why I originally gave it 5 stars). 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 is 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: Fake Freckle Juice Recipe was Funny
Review: We the students of the third grade here at St. Andrews School in Boston, Ma hereby proclaim that we loved Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. The story was funny, silly and goofy. It also taught us an important lesson-we should like ourselves just the way God made us! Readers out there young and old, pick up Freckle Juice. You won't be disappointed!
