onceuponacarm's review against another edition
4.0
The pacing is perfect for the 1st-3rd grade audience and deals with an issue not written about much in books for young readers--the changes that come when a divorced parent starts dating and thinking about getting remarried. Amber's worries and anxieties are authentic. What's more, she's also thoughtful, reflective, and a lot of fun. Not quite the spunk of Clementine, less attitude than Junie B., but an altogether relatable character and enjoyable to read.

This is a very cute story. Amber Brown is a girl who is 9 years old and talks her life. Her parents are divorced and mom is thinking of getting engaged to Max. She doesn't want things to change or does she.
I found it interesting because it deals with an interesting situation that many children have to deal with. Some not always at a young age.
