By E. R. Bird HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on June 12, 2005
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I get a great many very specific requests as a children's librarian. Parents often want books for their kids that discuss bullying, a death in the family, or the advantages of being potty trained. One of the requests I have not yet received, but I expect to, is for books that contain children of divorce. Specifically a book series. There are remarkably few that I could spontaneously come up with off the top of my head but, "Amber Brown Is Green With Envy", a title in the popular Amber Brown series, is one of those few. Paula Danziger died on July 8, 2004 but her tender, well-written Amber books will remain a favorite of children everywhere for decades to come.

In this particular installment in the series, Amber Brown has adjusted to living with her father sometimes and her mother sometimes. When she's at her father's house, Amber enjoys spending time with his wacky upstairs neighbors. When she's at her mother's home, she enjoys her old friends and school. Unfortunately, this kind of perfect arrangement cannot last. Amber's mom and Max (her mom's boyfriend) are getting married soon, a fact that Amber is pleased about (and her dad is not). Unfortunately, this means that the new family is going to have to move into an entirely new house. Possibly out of town. Amber, faced with the prospect of losing all her friends, her favorite teacher, and her school is understandably upset. Fortunately, she's surrounded by caring adults that know exactly how to help her make her feelings known on this and many other subjects.

Amber Brown, as a character, is one of those fictional children that are a little more gifted than their real-life contemporaries.

Amber Brown is a nine year old fourth grader whose parents have recently gotten divorced. If this were not enough,she also is dealing with her parents new social life. While she is visiting her dad's for the weekend, he decides to leave her at home to go on a date. In addition, her mom is getting remarried. And to top it all off, Amber is going to have to move from the house that she loves and has lived in all of her life to another house possibly in another town. All of these changes in Amber's life cause her to wish for a normal family. At times she is envious of her friend's families who seem to have it all together. Throughout the book we see a child who is dealing with the effects of a divorce and we are introduced to the many feelings she encounters with this major change. This is the first book in the Amber Series that I have read so far. I was impressed with the way Paula Danziger deals with the sensitive subject of divorce in a way that a child could relate to. I believe that this book could be invaluable to other children who are facing the issue of divorce and the changes that this brings. I also feel that this book is an excellent book for educators as well as parents to read in order to understand how divorce affects us all.

A Kid's Review on April 3, 2005
Format: Hardcover
Amber is a happy girl but she was sad when her parents divorced. She misses them a lot. Soon, she got used to it. I think this is a good book because we can learn that life's hard when your parents split up. I recommend this book because if your parents split up, you'll know what to do. My most favorite part is when Amber's happy with either family.

By A Customer on October 20, 2003
Format: Hardcover
This was a funny but very realistic story about a 9-year-old child dealing with the upheaval of divorce. It depicts parents arguing with each other in front of their child, moving away from the child's original house, the child into tears at school, a parent dating and neglecting the child during their weekend of custody, etc. I thought this was the best of the series. My daughter started reading these books in the 2nd grade just after her father and I split up. She's in the 8th grade now, and I'm still recommending that she read this one because it deals with relevant topics in a humorous way.

Format: Hardcover
In Amber Brown Is Green With Envy, Amber Brown's parents seem set on making her life difficult; from a father who goes on dates instead of being with her to a mother who wants to visit Disneyland - without her. Then her mother decides to marry Max and move them to a new house - and Amber can only envy friends who seem to lead a quieter, more stable life. Another fine Amber Brown dilemma builds.

A Kid's Review on May 30, 2006
Format: Mass Market Paperback
First, Amber Brown is jealous because her dad is going on dates on the days he's supposed to be with her and she thought all her friends had normal families. In the end, she realizes that there is no such thing as a normal family. I liked this book because it made me realize that what is normal for you might not be normal to your friends. It helps me to know that there is no such thing as a normal family and people can be very different. I recommend this book to 7 or 8 year olds.
