I loved it because it had so, so many details and I loved the details! The book was about a little boy named Andrew. He wants freckles. I like Andrew as a character and my favorite part of the story was the ending. I don’t want to spoil it for you but Andrew gets back at Sharon. I feel like there is always a way to get back at a bully that is trying to trick you.
I like it because Sharon invents a sick-making juice and gives the recipe to
Andrew and Andrew made it. When Andrew drank the juice he got sick. Thank
you for your comment. Have you got it at your House ? But there were not two faces and I wanted two faces.Have you got any good books at your school ?
Yes, I do have this book at my house. I also have good books at my school.
Your new friend,
Sofia
Can you send me the name of one of the books? Is it your favourite book ?
Best wishes your new friend,
Hugo.
I really liked your review and I agree with some things, and I disagree with other things. I liked the book, but I agree with Hugo that it should get 2 stars. I thought Andrew’s mom was sort of weird because she was always telling him, “Don’t forget to wash behind your neck!”. That’s why he wanted freckles, so he didn’t have to wash. You might like “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” — it is also by Judy Blume — and I liked it a little better. It’s funny and makes you want to read it a little more. There’s a whole series with the same characters. It’s about a boy named Peter who has a really crazy little brother named Fudge, and Peter feels like his parents only pay attention to Fudge.
