Inhaltsangabe:

A heartwarming story of family, friendship, and the power of forgiveness. Meet Amber, an 11-year-old girl who finds herself uprooted from her city life and thrust into the unfamiliar world of a small town. Her family has lost everything, but they still have each other, and together they must navigate the challenges of starting over.

With no Wi-Fi and no friends, Amber is bored and lonely. That is until her Gran suggests she find a pen pal to pass the time. Soon, Amber is writing to Millie, and their friendship quickly blossoms. But when Amber tells little white lies to make herself seem more interesting, she knows she's in trouble. How long can she keep up the charade before Millie discovers "The Truth About Amber"?

As Amber struggles with the guilt of her deception, she learns important lessons about the value of honesty and the true meaning of friendship. Along the way, she discovers the joys of having an inventive Grandad, a grandma who cooks up adventures in the kitchen, a mum who is as out of her depth as Amber is, and the friendship of a shaggy-headed boy with an equally shaggy and boisterous dog.

With black and white drawings at the beginning of each chapter, "The Truth About Amber" is a fast-paced read, perfect for 9 to 12-year-olds. The style and tone will capture the hearts of young readers and keep them turning the pages until the very end. Don't miss this unforgettable tale of resilience, hope, and the power of forgiveness.
