Amber Brown's parents aren't acting the way she thinks parents should. Sometimes her dad goes on dates, or her mom goes on vacation... without Amber. Then Mom and Max deicde to move to a new house - maybe even a new town!
Some kids have parents who stay together. Some kids don't have to think about moving from their school and all their friends. Some kids seem to have no problems at all... and that makes Amber Brown green with envy!
