Book review by Aarene Storms: Brave

Brave by Svetlana Chmakova

In his daydreams, middle schooler Jensen is a hero who saves his friends from sunspots and zombies.

In real life, Jensen doesn't have real friends.

Then, one day, another student does something that changes everything.

This excellent graphic novel may stir up unpleasant memories of life in middle school... and it might just inspire readers to do something to change everything.

How cool would that be?

Recommended for readers ages 10 to adult.


The events may not have happened; still, the story is true. --R. Silvern
