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.

Being homeless and living on a school bus for months doesn't stop Amber Appleton from being optimistic about life. She has her mother, Bobby Big Boy (her dog), friends, and of course, Jesus Christ. But after experiencing a very personal tragedy, Amber's confidence and hope in life breaks. And she begins to suffer through a depression that no one can seem to bring her out of.
I really liked Amber. She was an extremely giving and caring person. She was always looking out for everyone. I couldn't help but to HOPE that everything worked out for her in the end. (And I got to say, I liked whenever she would say Word or True? True. It really stood her out in my mind and made me like her character even more.)
There were two scenes where I got a bit choked up. One was the tragedy I mentioned before, which was so sad. It was something I wasn't expecting just from reading the summary. And although there is a tragedy, this book is filled with moments that make you laugh and moments that are uplifting. Which brings me to the other scene. It was where everyone came together for Amber. That showed how much everyone cared and how much Amber was appreciated. I smiled and got teary-eyed, and I'm so glad Amber was able to find the strength to pull through.
