Forever Amber Brown

By: Paula Danziger

Narrated by: Dana Lubotsky

"In previous books in this popular series, Amber has seen her parents divorce and her father and best friend, Justin Daniels, move far away. Now she is firmly established in the fourth grade with a new best friend and a growing fondness for her mom's boyfriend, Max. Just for a while, Amber would like nothing more to change so that she can concentrate on the business of growing up. Then Max throws them all into a tizzy by asking her mother to marry him. Suddenly, they make an unplanned trip to Alabama to see the Daniels family so that Amber's mom can think things through. There, Justin helps Amber realize that change is a part of living. Through all the chaos, irrepressible Amber, buoyed by her loving relationship with her mother as well as her lively imagination and wonderful sense of humor, develops a growing understanding of herself and the people around her. Danziger's characterizations ring true. Her light handling of a difficult subject faced by so many youngsters will once again find a ready audience."---School and Library Journal©2008 Paula Danziger; (P)2008 Random House, Inc.

Amber’s longing for a best friend was so sweet and also the funny things she did with Justin like hold the anchovies.

I like that amber is tough and she doesn’t back down from challenges like a sissy she just pulls through them.
