Amber Brown is a very messy girl. She has a best friend named Justin, they met at school. The problem is that people told Amber Brown that she was a crayon and she did not like that. Yard Ape, the bully, threw an eraser at Amber Brown and this was also a problem. Amber was sad that Justin was moving.
I liked this story because it was hilarious because Amber is a messy girl. Amber Brown's class was pretending that they were going to China and Amber had trouble finding her passport in her messy desk. She also wears messy clothes everyday.
I recommend this book to kids because I am a kid and I love it. It is funny and dramatic. This is because Amber gets teased a lot because of her last name Brown, the bully calls her a crayon and it causes a lot of issues.
