Fearless is quick little graphic novel about friendship, growing up, and accepting change. While I do really like the messages about friendship (you need to listen to people, no one owes you their friendship, things change but that's not all bad, etc.) I found some of the art choices to be a wee bit distracting. It's not the style itself (which is adorable) but rather the portrayed ages. Basically I couldn't tell how old any of the non-adult characters are at any given time, even when characters that I assume are very young were portrayed. While this isn't so much a problem for me, an adult reader, I would be leery to put this in a middle schoolers hand for fear they would reject it out of hand (I'm not sure about ya'll, but I find middle schoolers especially really do not want to be considered kids). That aside, this is an excellent and fun read, perfect for pre-tween's in your life!

This does a good job of addressing the friendship struggles in upper middle grades when interests and maturity changes at different rates. I will say I found it to just be ok but I'm giving it 3 stars because I think that's because I found the main character a bit annoying to read personally.

This graphic novel follows Kara as she deals with something we all do: change. It’s a fun story for all ages that’s well-written and beautifully illustrated.

A very good graphic novel about changing as you grow up and what happens when you don't.

I read this book as a possibility for a 4th grade Gals/Guys Read program. Even though the main character is going into middle school, I think it would actually suit a slightly younger audience. It's a nice adventure/friendship story with some good lessons. The art is bright and attractive, and altogether this is a perfectly pleasant, but not terribly memorable book.

Adorable artwork and a GREAT message for kids to learn about moving on and being considerate of your friends. while I’m glad Kara and Alice were able to make up, it’s also great to acknowledge some friendships end, and that’s okay. You can always make new ones.
