Nothing Compares to a True Friend

     Do you want to read an amazing story about friendship?  Once you start reading, Amber Brown is Not a Crayon by Paula Danziger, you will not be able to put the book down.  This story is packed with adventure and guaranteed to be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

     This story begins when Amber Brown's best friend, Justin Daniels, tells her he is moving away.  Amber starts to imagine third grade without him and decides she is not going to let him leave.  The two friends work together to come up with ways to make Justin stay.  They are both determined to stay together.

     My favorite part is when Justin and Amber team together and try to discourage a family from buying Justin's house.  They tell all kinds of lies about the house so that the family will not want to live there.  This is my favorite part because I liked how Justin and Amber worked together to try to keep each other close by.

     If this book doesn't make you laugh, nothing will!  It was fun to read about Justin and Amber.  You will be hooked and want to read more books in this series after reading this story.
