Synopsis

Award-winning author Tim Lott's inspirational tale of a girl who risks everything in pursuit of justice. The smartly painted exterior of the City Community Faith School hides a disturbing secret. Behind its walls, one thousand girls are forced to labour in the city's laundry, separated from their families and deprived of their freedom. One of these girls is Little Fearless, a courageous spirit who never gives up hope that one day they will be rescued. Unafraid of the punishment she will face, Little Fearless escapes the institute to tell her story to the world. But why does nobody believe she's telling the truth?

Media Reviews
A smart, dark fable with a wonderfully engaging heroine. * Sarah Waters *
Fearless is powerful, haunting and utterly original, a disturbing but ultimately uplifting story of an indomitable child who will not be crushed by the system. I think it will become an immediate children's classic. Fearless is fabulous in all senses of the word. * Jacqueline Wilson *
One of the most original children's books I have come across for some time. * Amanda Craig, The Times *
A new and exciting voice in children's literature. * The Times *
A sweetly satisfying fable * Time Out *
Quirky, dark and unique. * The Glasgow Herald *
