Overview
Small Brave Things: A Novel in Vignettes
Linh hasn't said three words out loud since she arrived. Amara has never met a room she couldn't fill. Somewhere between them sit six other kids who left everything they knew - Venezuela, Syria, China, Russia, Ukraine, Mexico - to start over at Lincoln Middle School.
Told across one school year in vivid, interconnected vignettes, Small Brave Things follows eight newcomer students navigating the enormous and the tiny all at once: correcting a mispronounced name, singing in front of strangers, translating for a parent, working up the nerve to sit down at a new lunch table.
Some days go wonderfully. Some days don't. All of them matter.
Warm, funny, and unflinchingly honest, this is a story about the countless small, brave choices it takes to build a life in a new place - and the surprising, durable friendships that grow out of trying.
For readers ages 10-15. Perfect for fans of The House on Mango Street and Other Words for Home.
