Brave

Muy buena obra de esta autora que trata de los problemas de los preadolescentes, en este caso el acoso, con rigor, pero también con gracia y amenidad, gracias a la buena caracterización de sus personajes.

My preteen kid liked it very much.

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.

This book helps kids understand bullying actions and has good print quality. It was delivered very quickly in Brazil.

It's the gift for my friend's kids. They like it so much.
