Amber Brown loves the holidays. The shopping, the wrapping, the unwrapping. She isn't having any trouble with gifts, but life is another story. She's so happy her dad has moved back to New Jersey, but her mom isn't. It means the beginning of shared custody, and that means more fighting. Amber feels as if half of her belongs to her mom and half of her belongs to her dad, and that doesn't feel good at all. Then her mom says she can't get her ears pierced, but her dad doesn't know that. Amber makes a decision. Something has to belong to her, so why shouldn't it be her ears? Full of the fun, humor, and punny dialogue Paula Danziger's famous for, this is a winning entry in the ever-popular series.

"I love Paula Danziger and all her books. Amber Brown is completely adorable. I know I read a lot of children's books, but they are happy in a sad world. I think that's how I kept my spirits up as a kid."

" I can not get enough of this book!! "
— Jillian, 9/15/2013" As with Junie B. Jones, this book is one for young children. But, it is also wonderful for children who may come from a dplit home. It is always good for children to see differnt sides to the story. I think that makes this book really enjoyable and relatable. "

— Cheryl, 11/22/2008Paula Danziger (1945–2004) was an American children’s book author. Beginning her career as a teacher, she taught at the junior high, high school, and college levels. She went on to receive her master’s degree and during that time wrote her first bestselling novel, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit. She returned to teaching, but the success of her book encouraged her to become a full-time writer. Some her most critically acclaimed works include the Amber Brown series, Remember Me to Harold Square, The Divorce Express, and Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice? In her memory, The Amber Brown Fund was established to bring authors and illustrators to schools and libraries which otherwise could not afford them.
