Book Review of Fearless (Fearless, Bk 1)

Fearless (Fearless,  Bk 1)
reviewed on + 255 more book reviews


The 1999 debut of a series by the creator of "Sweet Valley High." Made into a failed WB series starring Rachael Leigh Cook in 2003. The series, directed by Jerry Bruckheimer, was bumped to make room for "One Tree Hill." I love the book's designit plays with typography. And I really love that Gaia's a 17-year-old girl who kicks ass -- literally. I'm worried that as the series goes along (there are more than three dozen), Gaia (pronounced "GUY-uh") will turn boy-crazy and lose the snark.

From the publisher
From the creator of "Sweet Valley High" comes a hip new series featuring seventeen-year-old Gaia Moore, a girl born without the fear gene. Trained as a blackbelt in karate with the reflex speed of an Olympic athlete, Gaia can throw a 175-pound man over her shoulder. She lives in New York City where there is plenty of opportunity to right wrongs, avenge hurts, and save the world. And to fall in love.
