    Even when surprises come from all directions, Amber Brown is always bold, bright, and colorful. #Amber Brown is out now on Apple TV+

    It's finally summer and Amber Brown is going to London to visit her aunt Pam and then to Paris to visit with her father. She is one excited kid before she goes. And one itchy kid when she arrives.

    Mosquito bites, she thinks. Chicken pox, she finds out.

    Is her vacation completely ruined? And now that she can't go to Paris, how will she be able to convince her dad to move back home?

    Paula Danziger grew up wanting to be an author . . . and then she became one.  She wrote over 25 books, traveled to more than 15 countries, and was the kind of colorful character you might find in one of her books. She loved to play, make new friends, and wear purple clothes and nail polish. Sadly, Paula Danziger passed away on July 8, 2004. Amber Brown—and the rest of her book characters—will continue to live on. View titles by Paula Danziger
    Tony Ross has illustrated over 800 books, which are published all over the world. He was the British choice for the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2004. He lives in Oxfordshire. View titles by Tony Ross
    "Danziger deftly balances the serious with the lighthearted, as Amber's chatty, first-person narration is also filled with humorous reflections and observations." —Publishers Weekly
