THE BRAVE

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Shaun Taylor-Corbett

Children Ages 8+ • 9 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2020

Shaun Taylor-Corbett introduces 12-year-old Collin, who has a form of OCD--he calls out the number of letters in all the words in a conversation. Eventually, his exasperated, distant father sends him from California to his Ojibwe mother (whom he's never met) on a Minnesota reservation. Listeners will rejoice when he finds an easygoing mom, a feisty grandma, and Orenda, an inspiring neighbor who suffers from ALS. Taylor-Corbett captivatingly portrays the Ojibwe, who "sound like there are two space bars between words." Orenda is the standout; she inspires Collin to accept himself, confront bullies (very impressively done), and share her belief that she will become a butterfly when she passes. Taylor-Corbett's stellar descriptions of nature and Ojibwe life add to the believability of this magical story. S.G.B.
