What’s a guy gotta do to get some freckles? This perennial bestselling favorite from Judy Blume has a fresh new look!

But what starts out as a simple freckle juice recipe quickly turns into something disastrous. Andrew is still determined to get his freckles, and to show that pesky Sharon that she doesn’t know everything—and he has the perfect solution!
