"The humor from the original novel is left intact. Amber Brown is most definitely not a crayon--as she tells classmates who tease her about her name--but her world tends to assume a stylized palette that sets the tone of each scene. A faithfully executed adaptation worth visiting for new and returning readers." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A charming reimagining of Paula Danziger's original. Ying's warm, expressive illustrations do a great job of imbuing the characters with emotion, and Amber's iconic pigtails take on a life of their own in each panel. Highly recommended for younger fans of 'The Baby-Sitter's Club' graphic novel series." -- School Library Journal "Amber is a spirited, quirky, and charmingly relatable character, and Victoria Ying's illustrations have brought those characteristics to life on every page, enhancing Paula Danziger's signature humor. Paula would love this.
