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?
