Apple TV+ has given a series order to Amber Brown, a new series based on the best-selling books by Paula Danziger.

Danziger’s middle grade book series has been published in 53 countries with over 10 million copies in print, and have been praised for capturing the kid experience in a funny, relatable voice.

Amber Brown is an unfiltered look at a girl finding her own voice through art and music in the wake of her parents’ divorce. The series will star Carsyn Rose (The Rookie, Cousins for Life) as Amber Brown, an everykid who is going through what many children experience, and making sense of her new family dynamic through her sketches and video diary. Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy, Cruel Summer) stars as Amber’s mother Sarah Brown. The ensemble cast cast also includes Darin Brooks (Blue Mountain State, The Croods: Family Tree) as Max, and Liliana Inouye (The Slows) as Brandi Colwin.

The series will be directed and written by Bonnie Hunt (Life with Bonnie, The Bonnie Hunt Show), who will also serve as executive producer and showrunner.
