Praise for Fearless Frederic

An amazing book for fans of historical fiction.

Seamus Hadfield, Herald Sun, Melbourne

This is a wonderful book for younger readers, recreating a fascinating moment in French history.

Troy Lennon, Daily Telegraph, Sydney

Historical fiction at its exciting best.

Sandy Russell, Sunday Telegraph, Sydney

A fine piece of eye-opening historical fiction (I had no idea the flood had actually happened), an engaging and well-written story, and a chance to learn a couple of basic phrases in French! Would be best suited to readers in the 11-14 age bracket.
