Taking the leap into a new school year brings a huge mix of excitement and nervous butterflies. Amber Brown is getting ready to start the second grade, and she is not entirely sure what to expect. Last year, she had a wonderfully nice teacher who always smiled at her in the hallways, but this year she has been assigned to someone completely new. What if the new teacher is strict? What if she doesn't like Amber at all? Despite her worries, Amber packs up her favorite bear backpack, checks on her trusty knee scab, and sets off for the first day alongside her best friend Justin. She is determined to be brave and face whatever challenges the new classroom brings. This delightful and reassuring story perfectly captures the common fears of starting a new grade, showing young readers that change can actually turn out to be a wonderful adventure.
