Upset about her parents' divorce and her mother's growing friendship with Max， Amber has trouble getting her schoolwork done.

Written in the first person， with a good ear for dialogue， the story offers believable characters， adults as well as children. Danziger skillfully weaves the emotional threads into the fabric of a fourth-grader's everyday life.
