Fierce, Fearless and Free

Reviews / Votes

What I particularly liked about this collection is that these stories are all genuine traditional tales with girls as the stars of their own stories. * Get Kids Into Books * There were so many brilliant stories to pick from that it's impossible for me to choose a favourite. * Library Girl and Book Boy * Each tale takes us on a captivating adventure that shows the heroines strengths and how they overcome the most troublesome situations. -- Hayley Summerfield * Reading Zone * I was particularly interested to see how the boys would react to having a book full of female protagonists (they loved it!). Every time I picked up the book the room would go silent, every time there was a plot twist the children gasped. If I had to stop reading part way through a story there were groans of disappointment and cries of 'Just a bit longer!' * The Bookish Fairy * My daughter is already reading Fierce, Fearless and Free and I cannot wait to buy a few copies for our school library. This is a delightful book full of inspiring stories that just need to be shared. * Anna's Adventures in Bookland * These tales are well written, timeless and filled with strong female role models. * Book Murmuration * ... this book would be a brilliant addition to any bookshelf! The title illustrations are beautiful and detailed with strong female characters at the forefront. * My Shelves are Full * I really enjoyed every story in this book... I flew through it in one sitting. * Library of Books and Tea * ... I personally loved the selection. There was always a new adventure to experience...These girls were very fearless indeed. * Married to Books Reviews and Blog * This is a wonderful book bursting with fierce girls found in myths and legends from all over the world. * Booktails * Lari Don's stories are brilliantly empowering, each one accompanied by Eilidh Muldoon's whimsical and wonderfully detailed hand sketches. It's the kind of book that deserves countless rereads. -- Natalie Xenos * CultureFly * It contains such a wonderfully diverse selection of tales from around the world, most of which I had never read before. It was fascinating to be able to read about some of the amazing but lesser-known females who'd been busily defeating mountains, breaking spells and outwitting werewolves through the pages of time. * Library Girl and Book Boy * I highly recommend this book as it's perfect for either a different bedtime story, different story for your class each day or for a child who would like a shorter read to keep them going. It's also great for all children to show them stories from around the world, and strong female leads. * The Bookish Fairy *
