I was browsing through a bookstore over the weekend when I came across a novel series that's numbered. It's called "Fearless." It's apparently marketed to teen girls and features a heroine who is "born without the fear gene."
Now I've always been fascinated with these types of books (such as "The Destroyer," "Hardy Boys" or even "Sweet Valley High"), as they "evolve" over time like comic books. Plus they usually cater to pop culture and are an interesting barometer of "what's going on" during their time of publication.
I glanced through the books and saw two web site listings www.alloy.com and www.simonsays.com.
This Fearless series is interesting to me. First off it already is up to "novel" number 31. It's also a "new" series, that is it would be a good time to jump aboard for my nieces.

• So what I'm wondering is if any of you have heard of this series and if I ought to buy a couple for my nieces. Is it appropriate for girls ages 11 to 15?
• Does anyone know of a site that offers a good synopsis of the series?
• And while I'm at it, is it even any good for girls who are well-read?
• And has it ever been a comic?
