Bookroo's summary

Amber Brown faces a tough choice: Thanksgiving with Mom in Washington or Dad in New York. As if that isn't enough, a new girl, Kelly Green, arrives at school, making Amber's life even more complicated. With everything going wrong at home and school, Amber must navigate her feelings and make a decision that could change everything. Will she find a way to balance her colorful world, or will she be left feeling blue?

From the publisher

Even when she’s feeling blue, Amber Brown is always bold, bright, and colorful. #Amber Brown is out now on Apple TV+ Amber Brown has a big decision to make: spend Thanksgiving with Mom in Walla Walla, Washington, or with Dad in New York. Amber doesn’t want to choose, but the grown-ups are leaving it up to her. Things only get worse when she goes to school and meets the new girl–Kelly Green. No one in the class has ever had a two-color name like Amber Brown. Home. School. Nothing is going right! Amber Brown is most definitely feeling blue.
