The Brave
James Bird
Collin counts the letters in every word addressed to him, a difference that draws persistent bullying and frustrates the adults in his life, including his father. After he asks to leave another school, his father sends him to Minnesota to live with the mother he has never met. At the Fond du Lac reservation, Collin begins to understand and accept the part of himself that has made him stand out. His move brings him into a new family and community while he faces the hurt caused by being treated as different.
