FROM THE LIBRARY
Featured Book of the Week:
The Brave is about a boy named Collin who has a rare OCD condition where he counts all the letters in the words that anyone speaks to him. It makes him a target for bullies at his school, so his dad decides to send him to Minnesota to live with his mother. He’s never met his mom before, and she is Ojibwe and lives on a reservation. Can Collin build a relationship with his mother? Does his OCD condition get better? I loved this book, and it was a late addition to my Top Ten Books I read this year!
