Brave is a children's graphic novel written by Svetlana Chmakova. The book is set in the same Berrybrook Middle School as in her preceding Awkward, but follows a different character, Jensen, who had a minor role in Awkward. The next novel in the Berrybrook series, Crush, will follow the character Jorge, who was introduced in Brave as Jensen's project partner.

Plot summary

Jensen is a member of the art club who has always tried to just get by, but after he joins the school's newspaper and the journalists want to interview him, he questions whether he has been bullied all along.
