"I read through all the Amber Brown books, and they're pretty cute and fun. They're all either 3 or 4 stars. Danziger does a great job making lovable, creative kids, and she writes to her audience. And the newer second grade Amber Brown books have great illustrations, too. "

— Kate, 9/30/2013" Not exactly the heir to Ramona Quimby, as sometimes Amber has real dark feelings inside, and sometimes she shares them. I don't clearly remember every story so I'm copying this review to each book. "

— Lilly, 1/31/2011" This was my favorite "Amber Brown" book. I mainly liked it for two reasons: 1) Amber's aunt reminded me of one of my own aunts at the time. 2) I always wanted to go to Europe, especially Paris and London. "
— Carol, 6/4/2010" Great amusing story. Worries me to teach anything with divorce in it. But it is good for kids to know they are not alone in their feelings. "
— Kimberly, 4/22/2010" The girls really liked these stories, and the stories were okay, but we listened to these in the car, and the reader really was not that great. She kept dropping the ends of sentences and sounded really whiny. "
— Tasha, 1/17/2010Paula 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.
