Amber Brown faces a holiday season of change as her dad returns, leading to shared custody. Feeling split between her parents, Amber seeks control over her life.

Discover the humor and heart in Amber's journey to claim something truly hers.
From the publisher
Amber Brown loves the holidays. But this year, the season is bringing big changes. Amber’s dad has moved back to New Jersey, which means shared custody. Soon Amber feels as if half of her belongs to her mom and half of her belongs to her dad. Amber decides that she needs to claim something for herself, and when the topic of ear-piercing comes up, she knows just what she’s going to do! After all, don’t her ears belong to her? Full of all the fun, humor, and realistic dialogue that Paula Danziger’s famous for, this is a winning entry in the ever-popular series. “Upbeat, authentic, and humorous.” - School Library Journal, starred review “Fresh and fast-paced.” - Entertainment Weekly
