Customer Reviews

Great book--really loved when I was younger

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!

A and C Love It

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.

Amber Brown Wants Extra Credit

This is a girl named Amber. Her mom and dad are divorced. The BIG problem is that Amber's mom gets a new boyfriend! The new boyfriend's name is Max. Amber is afraid that Max is going to take her dad's place.It was Amber's moms BIRTHDAY! Amber spent all her money. She didn't even have a cent. So she gave her mom Amberion certificates, five of them. Amberion certificates are paper with Amberion on them and the person that it's written to. Amberion certificates makes Amber do things that she does not want to. Example when she does not want to clean her room. Another example, she does not want to go out to dinner. In the end, Amber's dad gets a new girlfriend.

This is one of the best Amber Brown books I read!!

Amber Brown is not doing well in school because she is mad about her parents divorce and her Mom dating a new guy. Amber aksed her teacher if she could get extra credit to help her grades. Her teacher said no, but Amber tried anyway. Read the book to find out what happens!! I think 3rd and 4th graders will really enjoy this book along with the other Amber Brown adventures.

This is the best book I ever read 10.

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.
