Welcome to second grade with Amber Brown! She thinks second grade is pretty awesome, but there's one tricky rule: keeping your desk super clean. Amber really wants the Desk Fairy, Deskarina, to visit her messy desk and leave a special prize. Will she be able to keep her pens, papers, and treasures tidy enough to get a reward? Join Amber as she tries her best to follow the rules, even when it's hard, and discover if a little bit of magic (and a lot of tidying!) can help her win over the Desk Fairy. This funny story will make you laugh as Amber learns about keeping things neat and tidy in her own unique way.

Change is never easy, especially when it feels like your entire world is turning upside down. Amber Brown is facing some massive shifts in her life. Her parents are officially divorced, her father has moved all the way to France, and her absolute best friend Justin has relocated to another state. Just when Amber thinks she has finally adjusted to her new normal, her mother drops another huge bombshell: she is seriously considering getting married again. A new stepdad means even more adjustments, and Amber is not entirely sure she is ready for another major upheaval in her family dynamic. As she navigates the confusing emotions of fourth grade, Amber must figure out how to handle these shifting relationships while staying true to herself. You will laugh and sympathize with Amber as she tackles the frustrations and joys of growing up. Through all the unpredictable changes and family drama, she is determined to prove that no matter what her mother decides, she will always be forever Amber Brown.

Amber Brown usually loves the holiday season. The shopping, the wrapping, and the unwrapping are always a blast. She is not having any trouble figuring out what gifts to give, but the rest of her life is a completely different story. Amber is thrilled that her dad has finally moved back to New Jersey, but her mom is definitely not happy about it. With her dad back in town, the reality of shared custody begins, and that means a whole lot of fighting between her parents. Amber feels like she is being torn right down the middle, with half of her belonging to her mom and the other half belonging to her dad. It is a terrible feeling, like she is just a piece of property being traded back and forth. When her mom refuses to let her get her ears pierced, Amber realizes she needs to take control. Since her dad does not know about the rule, she makes a bold decision. Something has to belong entirely to her, so why shouldn't it be her own ears? Packed with the fun, humor, and clever dialogue that makes Amber so lovable, this story perfectly captures the messy reality of growing up.

Even when her best friend is moving away, Amber Brown is always bold, bright, and colorful. #Amber Brown is out now on Apple TV+

Amber Brown and Justin Daniels are best friends. They've known each other for practically forever, sit next to each other in class, help each other with homework, and always stick up for each other. Justin never says things like, "Amber Brown is not a crayon." Amber never says, "You're Justin Time." They're a great team—until disaster strikes. Justin has to move away, and now the best friends are fighting. Will they be able to work it out before it's too late?

Along with the ups and downs of shared custody, the Amber Brown chapter books are beloved for tackling relatable dilemmas with thoughtfulness, humor, and plenty of puns.

Meet Stanley Lambchop.

He's an ordinary boy with an extraordinary problem.

He's four feet tall, about a foot wide . . . oh, and half an inch thick.

At first being flat is fine.

It's fun going in and out of rooms simply by sliding under the door.

And it's exciting being mailed to your friends in California for a visit.

But it's not always easy being different, and soon Stanley wishes he could be just like everybody else.

Will he ever be normal again?
