Book Description:

Amber Appleton lives in a bus. Ever since her mom's boyfriend kicked them out, Amber, her mom, and her totally loyal dog, Bobby Big Boy (aka Thrice B) have been camped out in the back of Hello Yellow (the school bus her mom drives). Still, Amber, the self-proclaimed princess of hope and girl of unyielding optimism, refuses to sweat the bad stuff. But when a fatal tragedy threatens Amber's optimism--and her way of life, can Amber continue to be the rock star of hope? With an oddball cast of characters, and a heartwarming, inspiring story, this novel unveils a beautifully beaten-up world of laughs, loyalty, and hard-earned hope.

READING ROOM REVIEW


This is a fantastic book for teenage girls. It ran the gamut of emotions, taking you to the lowest of lows to the mountain tops. You will laugh and you will cry. And you will be surprised by all the twists and turns. The main character is a strong young woman, who endures much hardship, yet doesn't give up her dreams. She serves as a role model for young women everywhere. The book is beautifully written and the story is very touching. I highly recommend it.
