Bookroo's summary

Amber Brown's life is spiraling. Her room's a mess, homework's incomplete, and her mom's new boyfriend, Max, is too friendly. With her mother upset and her teacher demanding more, Amber just wants a break. Can she navigate these challenges and find her footing?

From the publisher

Even when trouble seems to get worse and worse, Amber Brown is always bold, bright, and colorful. #Amber Brown is out now on Apple TV+ Amber Brown is usually very well-behaved. But lately, no matter what she does, it isn’t enough. She straightens up her room, sort of. She does her homework, well, most of it. And she agrees to meet Max, her mother’s new boyfriend, but she doesn’t agree to like him. Now her mother is angry, her teacher wants all of her homework, and Max keeps trying to make her laugh. What’s Amber to do? All she wants is a little extra credit. She really tries. . . . But how will she succeed?
