Amber Brown

Amber Brown is a series of realistic fiction novellas for children created and originally written by Paula Danziger; later written by Elizabeth Levy and Bruce Coville. Early editions are illustrated by Tony Ross and later by Anthony Lewis. The original series is narrated in first person by Amber Brown, starting near the end of her third grade year and through the summer after her fourth grade year. Danziger's balance of humor and real life tribulations are masterfully balanced to reach readers on a deep level throughout the series.
