What’s a guy gotta do to get some freckles? This perennial bestselling favorite from Judy Blume has a fresh new look!More than anything in the world, Andrew Marcus wants freckles. His classmate Nicky has freckles—they cover his face, his ears, and the whole back of his neck. But when Andrew asks Nicky where he got them, Nicky just says he was born with them. Some help he is! That’s when Sharon offers Andrew her secret freckle juice recipe—for fifty cents, she promises, Andrew can look just like Nicky. His freckleless days are over! He rushes home to whip up the concoction. Grape juice, vinegar, mustard… 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! Or does he?

Judy Blume’s beloved children books have earned her the National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters and a place on the New York Times best-seller list. This delightful recording delivers two of Blume’s most charming tales. In Freckle Juice, second-grader Andrew Marcus wants very much to have freckles. So, much to his mother’s dismay, he buys some “freckle juice” from a classmate for 50 cents. But when the juice doesn’t work, Andrew decides more drastic measures are called for. The One in the Middle Is the Green Kangaroo introduces Freddy Dissel, who, as the middle child in the family, never feels very important. But when he hears his school is putting on a play, he thinks that a starring role may be just what he needs to prove he’s special after all.
