As Brave As You is a young adult novel written by Jason Reynolds, published May 3, 2016 by Atheneum. The book describes two African-American brothers from Brooklyn who are sent to spend the summer with their grandfather in Virginia.[1]

The book won the Kirkus Prize (2016), as well as the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work for Youth/Teen (2017), and the Schneider Family Book Award (2017).

Reception

As Brave As You received starred reviews from Kirkus,[2] Booklist,[3] Shelf Awareness,[4] and School Library Journal,[5] a five-star review from Common Sense Media.[6]

Kirkus Reviews praised the novel, stating that it is "a rich, nuanced, and highly relatable story" that "will resonate deeply with readers."[2] Booklist's Ilene Cooper similarly referred to it as "a powerful exploration of family, identity, and community."[2] Karin Snelson, writing for Shelf Awareness, called the novel "a beautifully written, poignant story" that "explores complex themes with sensitivity and humor."[4] In The Washington Post, Mary Quattlebaum highlighted how "Reynolds deftly blends humor and heart through lively dialogue and spot-on sibling dynamics."[7] Common Sense Media praised the novel's "authentic and relatable characters" and its "thought-provoking exploration of family dynamics and identity."[6] Writing for School Library Journal, Luann Toth called As Brave As You "[a] richly realized story about life and loss, courage and grace, and what it takes to be a man. Although a tad lengthy, it is easy reading and will be appreciated by a broad audience."[5]

Multiple reviewers discussed Reynold's writing, with Cooper calling it "lyrical and evocative."[3] Publishers Weekly noted that Reynolds' "vivid storytelling and well-developed characters" make the book "a compelling read."[8]

Elizabeth Bush, writing for The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, compared As Brave As You to Christopher Paul Curtis's The Watsons Go to Birmingham – 1963 "with the city kids’ humorous adjustment to rural life, underpinned with a serious subplot that steadily rises in importance."[9]

The New York Public Library,[10] Kirkus Reviews,[2] Shelf Awareness,[11] the Center for the Study of Multicultural Children's Literature,[12] The Washington Post,[13] and School Library Journal[14] named As Brave As You one of the best books of the year.
