About this audiobook
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.
Paula Danziger
Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in New York, Paula Danziger knew since second grade that she wanted to be a writer. Beginning her career as a teacher, Danziger taught at the junior high, high school, college levels. She received her Masters Degree in reading and during that time she 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. It was non-stop for Danziger since then. Among her titles are: the enormously popular Amber Brown books as well as Remember Me To Harold Square, The Divorce Express, and Can You Sue Your Parents For Malpractice? Danziger received numerous honors, including: Parent's Choice Awards, International Reading Association - Children's Book Council Awards, a IRA-CBC Children's Choice Award and many nominations for state reading and library association awards. Known as a flamboyantly funny and deeply honest writer and speaker, Paula Danziger knew how to relate to young readers at their level. She was vital, funny, and compassionate. She knew how kids felt, what made them laugh, what they wore, collected, read, and played with. From collecting novelty toys that would make any teacher cringe, to wearing jangly earrings, funky glasses and shoes covered with beads and sequins, Paula Danziger had a direct line into kids' hearts and funnybones. She will be missed always. In Paula's memory, The Amber Brown Fund has been established to bring authors and illustrators to schools and libraries which otherwise could not afford them. Donations may be sent to The Amber Brown Fund/ SCBWI Museum of Children’s Books, 8271 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoy this author and the realness she displays in her books, I would have never thought that such a young book could have such real issues such as divorce and parental issues.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5a story about a pretty girl who is very creative shes pretty sweet to!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story is about Amber Brown, whose parents were getting divorce and she was sad and angry and lost. She wants to get her parents back together There was a bit issue with her when she wanted to get her ears pierced. This is a great book for children who are going through the same thing. It gives them another look at someone else life and shows that life will be OK.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not exactly the heir to Ramona Quimby, 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is perfect for a second grade thru fifth grade class. This book discusses the subject of divorce in a great way for kids. I really enjoyed reading this book where Amber Brown was dealing with change in her life when her mother's boyfriend asks her to marry him. The decision affects both her and her mom tremendously, and in the end they decide that they will have a new different type of family and it was a good idea that would make everyone happy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amber's mom's boyfriend, Max, asks Amber's mom to marry him. Both Amber and her mother have to decide how to feel about that. A trip to visit Justin's family in Alabama helps them decide.Again, Danziger portrays a young girl's challenges in a very realistic manner. Amber is entertaining and real.
