Amber Brown's going through a growth spurt and her body's not the only thing that's changing. Her mom and Max are engaged. Her dad is moving back from Paris. And now her school's overrun by skunks, and she feels like she's being held captive in a hot, crowded school bus that's going nowhere, but growth spurts and skunks are not her only concerns. Why can't her parents agree on anything . . . why did she ever get that haircut . . . and most important, what will happen when Dad moves back?
