| From Booklist
Gr. 1-3. Popular character Amber Brown returns in a new A Is for Amber easy reader from the late Danziger. Second grade begins wonderfully: Amber's parents don't fight that morning; she wins the race in gym class; she gets to wear a crown for having the most pockets. But Amber isn't perfect, and her flaw soon becomes apparent: her messy desk. Ms. Light has instituted a clean-desk rule, and Amber wants a clean-desk treat more than anything. Unfortunately, she finds that cleaning up is easier said than done. Full-color spot artwork on every page depicts an endearingly messy Amber, belying her seeming perfection. As a charming Everykid, Amber has great appeal, and her successful struggle with desk neatness will resonate with children coping with their own shortcomings as they tackle new experiences.

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3–Amber loves second grade–until her teacher announces a new rule that all students must keep their desks clean. Now Amber knows she's in big trouble. Then Ms. Light explains that Deskarina, the desk fairy (cousin to the tooth fairy), will give out a Clean Desk Award to deserving children. Amber wants one. As she watches her classmates receive their awards, she continues trying until the day she finally figures out that she can stuff garbage in the trash can instead of her desk. Suddenly it's easier to find things and, to her surprise, she wins the coveted prize. Danziger is at her best as she guides readers through Amber's personal struggle to attain her goal. Her depiction of the girl and her friends rings true while the colorful illustrations reflect the humor, determination, and ultimate success of this unforgettable character. Not only is this an appealing beginning chapter book for Amber fans but it works as a read-aloud as well.–Kristina Aaronson, Henniker Community School, NH

About the Author / 作者介绍: |
| Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in New York, Paula Danziger knew since second grade that she wanted to be a writer. Beginning her career as a teacher, Danziger taught at the junior high, high school, college levels. She received her Masters Degree in reading and during that time she wrote her first bestselling novel, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit. She returned to teaching, but the success of her book encouraged her to become a full-time writer. It was non-stop for Danziger since then. Among her titles are: the enormously popular Amber Brown books as well as Remember Me To Harold Square, The Divorce Express, and Can You Sue Your Parents For Malpractice?
Danziger received numerous honors, including: Parent's Choice Awards, International Reading Association - Children's Book Council Awards, a IRA-CBC Children's Choice Award and many nominations for state reading and library association awards.
Known as a flamboyantly funny and deeply honest writer and speaker, Paula Danziger knew how to relate to young readers at their level. She was vital, funny, and compassionate. She knew how kids felt, what made them laugh, what they wore, collected, read, and played with. From collecting novelty toys that would make any teacher cringe, to wearing jangly earrings, funky glasses and shoes covered with beads and sequins, Paula Danziger had a direct line into kids' hearts and funnybones. She will be missed always.
In Paula's memory, The Amber Brown Fund has been established to bring authors and illustrators to schools and libraries which otherwise could not afford them. Donations may be sent to The Amber Brown Fund/ SCBWI Museum of Children’s Books, 8271 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048.
