If only all Phoebe had to deal with was the divorce....
No one wants to ride the Divorce Express. Especially Phoebe. It means leaving her New York City apartment and friends, moving to the country with her dad, and taking the bus every weekend to visit her mom in the city. It means she has to go to ninth grade in a new school and see her father go on dates. It’s a hectic life with no time to feel she really belongs with the kids in either place. Then, just when Phoebe gets a handle on juggling the pieces of her life, her mother makes a decision that will change everything again. How can Phoebe be herself and still be part of both her parents’ worlds?
Paula Danziger’s novels are hilarious, genuine, and full of dynamic female characters that have won the hearts of her readers and turned her books into beloved classics. These playful covers full of charming details capture the spirit of Paula’s stories and will brighten up the bookshelves of her fans and a new generation of readers.
"The specific problems--and seeming resiliency--of the children of divorced parents, as well as the general concerns of young teenagers, are ably evoked. And it's a pleasure to have a young heroine, without undue angst, who is popular and gets the boy she wants." -The New York Times Book Review
"Danziger's light style laced with humor will continue to attract readers." -Booklist
"The author has a sympathetic eye for the ups an downs of her characten and a quick ear for adolescent conversation." -Horn Book
Paula Danziger grew up wanting to be an author . . . and then she became one. She wrote over 25 books, traveled to more than 15 countries, and was the kind of colorful character you might find in one of her books. She loved to play, make new friends, and wear purple clothes and nail polish. Sadly, Paula Danziger passed away on July 8, 2004. Amber Brown—and the rest of her book characters—will continue to live on.
