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?
