Book Overview
Juno meets Stargirl in this fresh, funny, and heartbreaking novel that inspired the major motion picture All Together Now.
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. The world is Amber's stage, and Amber is, well...she's sorta like a rock star. True? True.

Been Obsessed Since 2010
Published by Thorn , 4 years ago
I remember the summer of 2010 very clearly because all you could find was me reading this book every single day. I took it everywhere with me, even to the water park. I could not put it down. Then, one day, it got lost and I was devastated. I have been on a search every since to find this book again. I checked all the libraries and they said it couldn't exist because "Sorta" isn't a word. I could never find it, or anything by Matthew Quick, in a bookstore. Then I took a leap of faith and tried this site. I was ecstatic and immediately asked my mom for some money. I ran to the mailbox the day it was supposed to arrive and I wasted no time opening it. I haven't put it down since. I knew I didn't imagine a character as wonderfully brilliant and hopeful as Amber Appleton. Though she is pure fiction, I have spent the past decade admiring her and trying to model myself off her. This book, and all it's characters, are amazing. You should not find yourself disappointed
