Decent plot but hard read-aloud:
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.

Comical, but serious to the characters. Blume delivers:
This is a GREAT book. I recal reading this and I enjoyed every page. Blume is quite simply the master of storytelling and hitting the true essence of this age group. How in touch with her inner child she must be! Excellent
