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.
