Brave Like Claire - Paperback

by Taylor O. Leone (Author)

Starting middle school was supposed to be exciting, but for quiet, artistic Claire, it feels more like a storm she can't escape. Between the sting of cruel whispers, the weight of unwanted attention, and the shadow of Brianna, the girl who seems determined to break her. Claire learns that silence doesn't always keep you safe. With the support of a loyal friend, a kind teacher, and her own sketchbook full of secret strength, Claire discovers that courage isn't the absence of fear, it's choosing to speak anyway.

Brave Like Claire is a heartfelt middle-grade novel about finding your voice, standing up to bullying, and realizing that bravery comes in many forms, even when your knees are shaking.
