Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

My name is Amber Alessandra Leola Kimiko Miyamoto. I have no idea why my parents gave me all those hideous names but they must have wanted to ruin my life, and you know what? They did an amazing job. As a half-Japanese, half-Italian girl with a ridiculous name, Amber's not feeling molto bene (very good) about making friends at her new school. But the hardest thing about being Amber is that a part of her is missing. Her dad. He left when she was little and he isn't coming back. Not for her first day of middle school and not for her little sister's birthday. So Amber will have to dream up a way for the Miyamoto sisters to make it on their own... A Junior Library Guild Selection An Odyessy Award Honor Book Four STARRED Reviews Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 to 7 Great for parents and educators looking for: An illustrated format for middle grade readers, especially for reluctant readers and those who love graphic novels A story featuring a strong, diverse female character A funny story that deals with tough topics while entertaining young readers Children's books with a story of being multiracial Award-winning middle school books Praise for Dream On, Amber: "Funny, poignant...[a] wise and accessible read for 9- to 12-year-olds."—The Wall Street Journal "'Dream On, Amber' also does something unusual for a children's book that grapples with race: It does not solve Amber's biracial identity crisis. Though Amber struggles with the questions of her missing father and Japanese identity, the biggest lesson of this book is that sometimes there are no answers."—The New York Times "One of those books that you simply won't want to put down...five out of five stars!"—The Guardian "[A] beautifully written story."—The Independent

Dara Palmer's Major Drama

By: Emma Shevah

Dara's larger-than-life personality and true-to-life middle grade issues command center stage until the curtain falls."—School Library Journal, STARRED Review Dara Palmer is destined to be a star, and she's writing herself the role of a lifetime. In this book, Emma Shevah tells a heartwarming story of one girl's experience with transracial adoption and the drama of middle school. Dara longs for stardom—but when she isn't cast in her middle school's production of The Sound of Music, she gets suspicious. It can't be because she's not the best. She was born to be a famous movie star. It must be because she's adopted from Cambodia and doesn't look like a typical fraulein. (That's German for girl.) So irrepressible Dara comes up with a genius plan to shake up the school: write a play about her own life. Then she'll have to be the star. Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 to 7 Great for parents and educators looking for: A story told with doodles and illustrations, perfect for readers that love graphic novels and reluctant readers A great conversation starter for parents to talk to their kids about being unique and growing up with differences from their fellow classmates or community A story about a girl who takes the initiative and isn't afraid to forge her own path.
