Description
Andrew Marcus wants freckles more than anything. His classmate Nicky has them all over his face and neck, but when Andrew asks him how he got them, Nicky just says he was born with them. Desperate for a solution, Andrew turns to Sharon, who offers him her secret freckle juice recipe for fifty cents. Grape juice, vinegar, and mustard are the ingredients in this unusual concoction. But as Andrew prepares the mixture, things start to go wrong. Despite his best efforts, Andrew's experiment doesn't turn out as planned, and he begins to question whether getting freckles is worth the trouble. Andrew's determination to get his freckles remains unwavering, but now he must confront the possibility that Sharon may have been right all along - and that some things are better left unchanged.
