The shopping, the wrapping, the unwrapping. She isn't having any troubles with gifts, but life is another story. She's so happy that 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.

Full of the fun, humor, and punny dialogue Paul Danziger's famous for, this is a winning entry in the ever popular series.

Wow! Mom's boyfriend Max has invited Amber and her mom to Walla Walla, Washington for Thanksgiving. And Amber's dad is coming home from Paris to live nearby. Life couldn't be better. Until Amber's dad calls. He's expecting Amber to spend Thanksgiving with him in New York City. And the grownups are leaving it up to Amber to decide what to do.Suddenly, Amber feels as if she is in the middle of a bad dream...which only gets worse when she goes to school and meets the new girl -- Kelly Green.

Amber Brown is feeling blue.

Always Bright, Amazingly Bold, Amber Brown! Amber's parents just aren't acting the way she thinks parents should. Sometimes her dad goes out on dates when he is supposed to be spending time with her. And her Mom went to Disneyland with Aunt Pam while Amber was with her dad (not fair!). Then Mom and Max decide to get married even sooner and move to a new house—maybe even a new town. Some kids seem to have no problems...and that makes Amber Brown green with envy.

Sometimes when things change, the most important thing stays the same. School pictures ... they are like life. Sometimes they don't turn out the way you want.
