Call Me Brave is a middle-grade leadership novel about friendship, courage, and the small choices that shape who we become. It follows five students at Live Oak Middle School who learn that leadership is less about being in charge and more about how you treat the people around you.

Twelve-year-old Jace Thompson makes a daring jump at a friend's birthday party - just to be seen and admired. He isn't thinking about leadership or courage - only about surviving sixth grade as the new kid in town. But the school year unfolds in ways Jace would never have expected.

He meets three classmates - Naomi, Liam, and Ava - who each navigate life differently. Naomi is observant and empathetic. Liam is analytical and thoughtful. Ava is organized and responsible but feels pressure to meet expectations. And Eric, the new foster kid, is first seen as someone to avoid, but becomes a friend once the others learn what he's facing. He doesn't want to be forced to move again. He wants to stay in Frisco, which becomes a major challenge.

When the friends are assigned to the same team during a leadership scavenger hunt at the Frontiers of Flight Museum, frustration shows up fast. They don't think alike or solve problems the same way. For a while, the day feels like a disaster.
