As Brave As You
What's it about
Ever wonder what it truly means to be brave? For two city brothers, a summer in the country with their grandparents uncovers a world of new rules, family secrets, and a surprising definition of courage they never expected to find. Join Genie and Ernie as they navigate a summer without the internet, learning to shoot a gun, and caring for their blind grandfather. You'll discover how a hidden family secret about a past mistake forces everyone, young and old, to confront their fears and learn that bravery isn't about being fearless—it's about facing your fears head-on.
Meet the author
Jason Reynolds is the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature and a 1 New York Times bestselling author whose work has earned a Newbery Honor and a Printz Honor. Growing up in Washington, D.C., he found inspiration not in classic literature, but in the vibrant storytelling of rap music, which taught him the power of rhythm and voice. This unique background fuels his mission to write books for young people, especially boys, who don't see themselves reflected in the pages they are given to read.
