Amber Brown Collection I: Amber Brown is Not a Crayon; You Can't Eat Your Chicken Pox, Amber Brown; Amber Brown Goes Fourth by Paula Danziger

The three first Amber Brown books are in this audiobook collection. Each book is only about an hour in (un-sped-up) length. The books are a little bit more serious than I was expecting, but has a bit of humor. They deal with a quirky child gradually adapting to challenges in life.
