Brave (Berrybrook Middle School, 2)

Loved it it explains to to an adult when you’re being bullied and just don’t bully people treat people how you wanna be treated

I was surprised at the cartoon format for a school book. My grandson read it in one evening and agreed it was a good topic, relevant to school life.

Great book for teens.

It was an ok book the plot was great and main characters changed throughout the story but I would’ve liked certain characters to change or be explored more.

I am a former middle/high school librarian. If it were up to me, I would make sure every middle school library in the country would have a copy of this book. This graphic novel is THE single best thing I've read about bullying. Ever. The bullied kid (Jensen) is a little overweight...which is mentioned a few times...and spends a lot of time fantasizing about becoming an astronaut (even though he's failing math). He's an ordinary kid who tries to hard to belong. Kids sniff out that neediness and then it's open season. I was that kid. The technology has changed (you can now be bullied and insulted through a variety of technology instead of just having notes left in your locker and desk)but the emotions are the same. The mean kids are the same. The panic of having nowhere to sit at lunch is the same. Jensen triumphs not because he loses weight, or becomes an athlete or a brilliant student. He finds his own place in the Middle School Jungle, through maturity of thought, while staying his own dreamy self. Incidentally...I love that Jensen's world is truly multicultural. The author assumes the reader will recognize this as the norm in a lot of American schools.

I honestly wanted to give jensen a hug throughout the whole book, he reminds me of a boy in my class who has hardly any friends and gets bullied quite a bit. But anywaysss, I LOVED THIS ONEEE!

IT was a great way to get the best possible freelance of my favorite part of a wimpy kid and money for the first time in a long day at work and then I have to be honest I'm not sure yet I have to be honest I'm not sure yet 're the other day at work and then I have to be honest I'm not sure yet I have to be honest I'm not sure yet I have to be honest I'm not sure yet I have a few minutes and money on the internet to see you t shirt and projects that are not allowed to see you soon then I have a great way to get it out for a bit later in touch of clans in touch when your family members can you soon after a while to be in the exciting time you soon love it out tonight so I your day is not be a good idea what
