Brave Rooney
Is It Any Good?
Especially for kids looking to find their place in a school or social group, BRAVE ROONEY is an encouraging, important story. Rooney, who lives on the borders of NormalVille and MajesticVille, has to go to school this year with the kids in MajesticVille and doesn't seem to measure up. He finally finds his own talent in a story that will resonate with any kid (or adult) who has had the experience of feeling less talented than others in his or her peer group.
