Yikes!! is a story about a young girl named Susie who embarks on a quest to "fix" her freckles after a mean girl at school tells her that they are "on backwards and upside down." Susie flees to a forest where she encounters a deer, an owl, and a gnome who offer dubious solutions to her freckle crisis. When she finally returns home, her wise grandmother solves her freckle dilemma and offers a few life lessons as well.
