Amber Brown Wants Extra Credit

Part of Amber Brown

Illustrated by Tony Ross
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?
Paula Danziger wrote more than thirty books for children, all of which are still in print. She passed away in July 2004. Tony Ross has illustrated many picture books, as well as young chapter books. He lives in Cheshire, England.

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
