it is great if you are learning french. Even though it is short and it does not have that much action, i reccommend it for new vocabulary and verbs.

I wanted to reread Amber Brown out of nostalgia, but it’s not quite the same as an adult.

This book reminds me of my childhood.

I've read better, I've read worse. They're young and there is some bullying and some immaturity but its not bad.

Amber's best friend Justin is moving! Amber Brown needs a new best friend. How will she live without Justin?

I give it four stars because it makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens next. The reason it did not get five stars is that it isn't as funny as Junie B. Jones and My Weird School. This book is good for people who need to appreciate their friends more.

A good story for 2nd graders on friendship and feelings.

This was a childhood favorite of mine that I really wanted to reread, mainly because I couldn't remember anything other than how much I loved it. After finishing it, I totally know why I loved Amber Brown more than any other character in the other books I had read. Not only did I identify with her on a ton of different levels, but this book also explored emotions that I had many times growing up in a military family. The feeling of loss when people move is a difficult thing for a grade-schooler to understand and cope with. I definitely didn't realize that as a kid, but I can very much appreciate the accessibility and openness of this book with dealing with those emotions. It felt very real.

This story is about a pair of best friends, and one of them is moving away. It is narrated by Amber Brown, a third grader. Amber and her best friend, Justin, have been best friends since pre-school, so the fact that Justin is moving to Alabama is very hard for Amber to deal with. Amber gets mad that Justin does not seem upset that he is moving, so they stop talking. At the very end they both apologize and go back to being best friends, looking forward to the summer when Amber and her mom can come visit Justin in Alabama.

This story is very cute, and there were several lines in it that talked about how children's thoughts and feelings were important, and I think that is a wonderful thing for a child to read.

This story could be used in a classroom to show the importance of friendship and making up after a fight, both apologizing and forgiving.

i like the way amber and justin's friendship was.

Plan lector cuarto y tercero básico.

Uno de mis primeras lecturas de mi infancia, casi me olvidaba de los recuerdos y esos lazos que perdemos en el tiempo. Pocas palabras para una historia que tiene mucho que entregar, lastima que casi todos los libros siguen ser traducidos al español pero al menos están los 3.

This is a sweet book about a girl whose best friend is about to move. It describes well the typical feelings kids might have in the situation, and has a happy ending.
