Book reviews ''It is not a walk in the park to write for young people. Nina is aware of that and does not opt for the easiest way. She has written a story which can touch young persons and adults. I hope and wish that she will soon share with us more writing samples''. Theodore Kallifatides, writer.
''Nina Lund's book, Brave Kids, is a moving story that tackles the sensitive subject of domestic violence. The book tells the story of little Ravi and his mother who had to leave their home to find safety. It takes us through their journey, struggles and adventures as they travel all over India to rebuild their lives.
Brave Kids sends a strong message about the power of love and, most importantly, gives hope and courage to many other children and women affected by domestic violence. Dr. Evangelia Karydi, Child and Adult Psychologist
