    Go back to school with Amber Brown as she tackles the excitement and jitters of starting a new year!

    Amber Brown is excited to be starting second grade--and a little nervous, too. But Amber Brown decides she's ready for whatever happens, and second grade had better be ready for Amber Brown!

    Paula Danziger grew up wanting to be an author . . . and then she became one.  She wrote over 25 books, traveled to more than 15 countries, and was the kind of colorful character you might find in one of her books. She loved to play, make new friends, and wear purple clothes and nail polish. Sadly, Paula Danziger passed away on July 8, 2004. Amber Brown—and the rest of her book characters—will continue to live on. View titles by Paula Danziger
    Tony Ross has illustrated over 800 books, which are published all over the world. He was the British choice for the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2004. He lives in Oxfordshire. View titles by Tony Ross
    "The feisty series inaugurated in Amber Brown Is Not a Crayon is not just for middle readers anymore." -Publishers Weekly

    "Readers will adore the irrepressible Amber and appreciate her love/hate relationship with Justin...The author's ability to capture the essence of childhood and deliver it without condescension is unparalleled." -School Library Journal
