Maybe I am a freak – but I’m one hopeful misfit, and you could be worse things in this world. True? True.Amber Appleton is homeless after her mother's latest loser boyfriend kicks them out of his apartment. They live in “Hello Yellow” - the very school bus her mother drives students to school in each day, along with Bobby Big Boy, the dog she found near death in a box. Despite her dire living conditions, Amber succeeds in being optimistic. She considers herself a misfit and hangs out with a group of other misfits. She has a kind heart and has a way of positively affecting all she comes into contact with. She looks out for an autistic boy, teaches English to a group of Korean women, volunteers at a retirement home and is friends with a grumpy Vietnam Vet. When Amber experiences an unimaginable tragedy and withdraws from life, the people she has cared for the most rallies behind her and shows her what unconditional love is. This book tugs at your heartstrings and is highly recommended.
