Mom's Notes: I love Freckles. Once you know him, you can't help but love him. This beautiful, exciting, heart-wrenching story stands the test of time. G.S. Porter often writes her characters melodramatically, but that makes them even more exciting to root for, or boo at. Her stories are carriers for the flora and fauna, but I appreciate it all. I think the kids will always remember the nature-loving, goodness-defending, hardworking, honorable, devoted-friend and lover Freckles.
