Synopsis

Andrew wants freckles. He wants to be like Nicky Lane who has millions of them. If he had freckles like Nicky, then his mother would never notice when his neck was dirty. He wouldn't have to wash and he'd never be late for school. So when Andrew hears about the secret recipe for Freckle Juice, he's determined to try it...

Andrew decides that if he were covered in freckles like his classmate, Nicky, no one would notice whether he had washed his face or behind his ears. So it seems that freckle juice, for a price, is just the thing he needs.
