Summary

Summary

In this contemporary YA coming-of-age novel from award-winning playwright Gina Femia, Alondra is a bisexual teen girl. She and her friends are wrestling their way through the summer—sometimes on the playgrounds of Coney Island, sometimes with their feelings and at home.

Sixteen-year-old Alonda loves professional wrestling. So when she meets a group of teens with aspirations of wrestling fame in her Coney Island neighborhood, she couldn’t be happier. So as the ragtag team works to put on a show to remember, Alonda leaves behind her old self and becomes Alondra―the Fearless One.

But with her conflicting feelings for King, the handsome leader of their group, and Lexi, the girl with the beautiful smile, Alonda has to ask herself: can she be as fearless outside of the ring as she is inside of it?

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“There’s much to praise in this fast-paced and engaging debut, from the sense of found family that is part of Alonda’s life in multiple ways to the commentary on the impact of gentrification…A satisfying and joyful read.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Alonda’s determination to explore a bold new side of herself, and her gradual self-acceptance of her bisexuality, are immediately endearing, amounting to a sweetly introspective read.” Publishers Weekly
“Femia tackles friendship, love, sexuality, and grief deftly in this capture of a wrestling summer when everything changes.” Booklist
