Amber Brown

As a parent of a tween I feel like this show captures this age much better than most shows out there. My middle schooler loves it and the emotions the main character displays are very relatable! Also nice that there is not over the top acting out or rebellion, like most kids her age (11) Amber doesn't hate her parents and isn't obsessed with social media the way a lot of shows portray kids to be. She wears pretty typical kid clothes, has a best friend she is silly with, and is refreshingly honest about how typical middle school drama leaves her feeling left out sometimes, while still exhibiting a healthy sense of self.
