As Brave As You

When two brothers decide to prove how brave they are, everything backfires literally in this pitch-perfect contemporary novel (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) by the winner of the Coretta Scott King John Steptoe Award. Genie s summer is full of surprises. The first is that he and his big brother, Ernie, are leaving Brooklyn for the very first time to spend the summer with their grandparents all the way in Virginia in the COUNTRY! The second surprise comes when Genie figures out that their grandfather is blind. Thunderstruck, Genie peppers Grandpop with questions about how he hides it so well (besides wearing way cool Ray-Bans). How does he match his clothes? Know where to walk? Cook with a gas stove? Pour a glass of sweet tea without spilling it? Genie thinks Grandpop must be the bravest guy he s ever known, but he starts to notice that his grandfather never leaves the house as in NEVER. And when he finds the secret room that Grandpop is always disappearing into a room so full of songbirds and plants that it s almost as if it s been pulled inside-out he begins to wonder if his grandfather is really so brave after all. Then Ernie lets him down in the bravery department. It s his fourteenth birthday, and, Grandpop says to become a man, you have to learn how to shoot a gun. Genie thinks that is AWESOME until he realizes Ernie has no interest in learning how to shoot. None. Nada. Dumbfounded by Ernie s reluctance, Genie is left to wonder is bravery and becoming a man only about proving something, or is it just as important to own up to what you won t do?"

Raj has always wanted to find his mate. Growing up as a werewolf, he always believed the stories that there was someone out there for him. He just didn't expect the meeting to be in the middle of the underground fighting ring in which he illegally brawls. But once he catches her scent, he can't fight the need to find her and claim her for his own. Maggie is a good girl, a good friend, a good nurse, a good coworker, a good person. She follows rules and she knows she has no business working at the Ring that night... or being attracted to the massive, hulking fighter she met there. Except he's also friends with her best friend, and the Beta is in said best friend's boyfriend's Pack. Why are these feelings for him so strong all of a sudden, and how can she explain them to her boyfriend? Raj would give anything to have his mate in his arms, but he can't tell her the truth; he needs her to choose him freely. But is there any way the good girl and this secret bad boy can have a happy ending when their beginning looks like this? Publisher's Note: This steamy fantasy romance contains graphic fighting and love scenes.
