Description
More than anything in the world, Andrew wants freckles. His classmate Nicky has freckles -- they cover his face, his ears, and the whole back of his neck. (Once sitting behind him in class, Andrew counted eighty-six of them, and that was just a start!One day after school, Andrew screws up enough courage to ask Nicky where he got his freckles. And, as luck would have it, who should overhear him but giggling, teasing Sharon (who makes frog faces at everybody!)Sharon offers Andrew her secret freckle juice recipe -- for fifty cents.That's a lot of money to Andrew -- five whole weeks allowance! He spends a sleepless night, torn between his desire for freckles and his reluctance to part with such a substantial sum of money. Finally, the freckles win, and Andrew decides to accept Sharon's offer.After school, Andrew rushes home (with the recipe tucked into his shoe for safekeeping). He carefully begins to mix the strange combination of ingredients -- and immediately runs into some unforeseen problems.How Andrew finally manages to achieve a temporary set of freckles -- and then isn't sure he really wants them -- makes a warm and hilarious story.

Both authors write witty, character-driven novels for tweens and teens about growing up and dealing with problems at home or school. Judy Blume also writes for adults; Megan McDonald is primarily a children's book author. -- CJ Connor
Although Lois Lowry ventures into speculative territory, unlike Judy Blume, both prolific youth literature legends specialize in authentic, believable characters. As pioneers in the middle grade and YA fields, their beloved works remain controversial despite constant, long-lasting acclaim from librarians and readers. -- Autumn Winters
Perhaps best known for their game-changing realistic fiction for teens, Jason Reynolds and Judy Blume upended their respective eras by presenting authentic young characters in believable situations.

Judy Blume and Lauren Myracle share an intense sensitivity to the inner lives of preteen and teen girls. Both limn the coming-of-age experience with exquisite delicacy, understanding that the smallest moments will resonate with their characters for the rest of their lives. -- Autumn Winters
In their relatable realistic fiction centering on middle schoolers, Judy Blume and Paula Chase capture the extraordinary in everyday life with their deep understanding of the high stakes of social hierarchy and the choices that young people are able and unable to make about their own identities. -- Autumn Winters
