Bookroo's summary

Amber Brown's life is in upheaval: her mom's engaged, her dad's back from Paris, and skunks have invaded her school. Trapped in a bus of uncertainty, Amber wonders if her parents will ever agree and what her future holds. As she navigates these changes, Amber must find her way through the chaos and discover what truly matters. Will she manage to keep her bold spirit alive amidst the turmoil?

From the publisher

Even when nothing is going her way, Amber Brown is always bold, bright, and colorful. #Amber Brown is out now on Apple TV+ 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?
