My 1st grader was assigned this book to read. She could read the book fine, but the contents is definitely for the older kids. The book talks about divorce, parents with boyfriends, masacre of Barbies, bras… definitely not appropriate for the younger crowd. The other problem of course is she can read it fine, but doesn’t follow the story because the topics are for more mature kids. I’m sure there are other books at this same reading level with less mature topics.

Imagine your divorced parents are starting to date new people. Would it bother you so much that it would affect your grades?That’s exactly what happens to Amber Brown.I enjoy all of the Amber Brown books. Her life is interesting and her problems are believable. I can’t wait to read more about Amber and her family.
I recommend this book to kids that like funny, true to life stories. I think this book would be enjoyed by ages 8 to 80.

I thought this book was good because they made the characters seem as if they were real.They I was there when they were writing in front of me. Amber is the main character of my book.Her mom and dad get a divorce and her dad moved to Paris,France. When Amber came downstairs she saw Max with her mom.Her dad called and he told her that he has a new girlfriend.She had got mad at him and hung up the phone.She was getting bad grades and after Amber and her mom worked things out.She started to get better grades. I would recommend this book to third graders and some fourth graders.

I love this book and how the characters develop over the series. I think it’s sad that over protective parents are lowering their review because of material that is “too mature.” When I was in fourth grade my parents had been divorced for two years, my father was remarried, my mother living with a man she met through a chat room, and my sister and I were basically raising ourselves. I started getting obsessed with my body image and ignoring toys that used to be my best friends. The series is all about growing up. It’s as perfect about growing with the reader in its style and diction as the Harry Potter series is about developing complexity as Harry ages through the series. Five stars plus!

This is a 5 star book. It is humorous but also a little sad. We liked when Amber made Amber brownies. We would really like to eat Amber brownies! It was funny when Amber called her mother a madwoman, but it was sad when her mother pulled the car over and cried. Amber’s parents are divorced and her mother has a boyfriend named Max. Amber does not like him that much so she decides not to smile at him. If you are a fan of the Amber Brown series, you will like this book too.
