Fearless!

Have you ever felt like everyone around you has life all figured out, or that if you could just find one thing to be really good at, none of the rest would matter? Thirteen-year-old Noah Martin already holds strong views about how the world works. With few self-expectations, a resentment of classmates with "perfect" lives, and a cocky attitude that earns him few friends, Noah has been biding his time until track season so that he can rule supreme. He is sure that he can dominate in sprints and the long jump, where athletes attain top speed over a short distance before hurling themselves through the air over a pit of sand. Racing into the gym on the first day of track practice with high hopes and his sights set on glory, Noah steps into a world that challenges many of his beliefs. What happens when Noah discovers that some of his closely held truths might need a little adjustment and that people who may have his back can wear unlikely disguises? Taking place between the first day of track practice through the first track meet, Fearless! takes you inside the classrooms, halls, locker room and track of a drama-filled middle school for a look inside the world's oldest sport.
