Sinopsis

Fearless: A Middle Grade Novel of Friendship, Family, and a Brave Dog Rescue
Adjusting to a new town is hard enough. Doing it while your mom is deployed overseas feels impossible.

When Jessie Nelson and her dad move to a small town in southern Minnesota, everything feels foreign. Loneliness starts to fade when she bonds with Nicky, a theater-loving classmate, and Oscar, a new friend who truly understands the anxiety of having family serving in the military far from home.

But their quiet lives take a dramatic turn when the three friends stumble upon an illegal puppy mill hidden in a secluded barn. Faced with a heartbreaking situation, Jessie makes a daring choice: she secretly rescues one of the distressed dogs, determined to make a difference.

Keeping an anxious dog hidden from her dad and grandpa is no easy feat. As Jessie navigates the heavy responsibility of caring for her new four-legged friend, she must also lean on her friends to face her deepest anxieties about her mother's safety overseas.

Fearless is a heartwarming middle grade adventure about the quiet bravery found in everyday moments, the healing power of compassion, and the bond between children and animals. Perfect for fans of realistic contemporary fiction, social-emotional learning (SEL) stories, and uplifting animal adventures.
