As they grapple with distance and misunderstandings, their friendship is put to the ultimate test. Can Amber and Justin find a way to bridge the gap, or will their connection be lost forever?

Discover if friendship can truly withstand the trials of time and distance in this heartfelt tale.
From the publisher
Amber Brown and Justin Daniels are best friends. They’ve known each other for practically forever, sit next to each other in class, help each other with homework, and always stick up for each other. Justin never says things like, “Amber Brown is not a crayon.” Amber never says, “Justin Time.” They’re a great team—until disaster strikes. Justin has to move away, and now the best friends are fighting. Will they be able to work it out before it’s too late?

“This book, the first in a series, is silly, simple, and fun. It's a great early reader book for elementary school readers who are ready to read chapter books on their own. I'd recommend it for grades 1-3.”
