About a month ago I reviewed Fearless, by Tim Lott. While I was a bit skeptical about the kid appeal of the book, I thought that it was well-written, too. I said:
"Lott uses a dystopian setting to explore intriguing ideas about order vs. chaos, individuality, bravery, and justice. Fearless is beautifully written, with spare and moving prose. It was long-listed for the 2007 Guardian prize, and I can see why."
Fearless is scheduled for publication today. Fans of dystopian novels should give it a look.
