Brave by Svetlana Chmakova
4.0
'Brave' is middle grade graphic novel about bullying and finding your courage. Not only does Jensen have to deal with actual bullies, but the people he thinks are friends also make fun of and tease him cruelly. He has to find his courage to stand up to them and speak his mind.
Overall, I love the art style. Each expression said so much, each panel spoke volumes. It was a rough story to get through, especially if you have experience with "friends" like that, but the lesson Jensen learned is an important one for all of us to learn. I would highly recommend this series (which is a few books within a school rather than about reoccurring characters) to any middle schooler who seems to be having a tough time.
