I was hesitant to begin Freckles when I was a teenager because I hadn’t heard much about it, but I decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. I loved the unique charm and the sweet touch of romance woven in. The adventures the main character has throughout the story make it enjoyable and engaging. Middle schoolers and high schoolers alike will love this classic story, and you will definitely want to pick this book up at your book fair!
