yes beaney is brave.I think this because she faced her fares to carol ann.For example carol ann tried to get beaney to do what ever she want  but beaney did not let that happen.plus carol ann wanted beaney to to be the janitor  and carol ann wanted to be the qween bee carol ann was super bosy so beaney went into the bus and told carol ann that she does not want to do the bee poam  she annoused she want to do cart wheels instead.this is why i think beany could be describ as brave.
