The story, in words and pictures, of the brave and indefatigable woman journalist who exposed the crooked and criminal dealings of leading figures in her home country of Malta.

Murdered by the men who could not silence her, Daphne Caruana Galizia has become a hero-figure across the world for everyone who treasures honesty, truth and justice.

Daphne Caruana Galizia had a happy childhood with her family on the small island of Malta, loving books, stories

and writing. As she grew older, her ambition was to become a journalist and write news stories. And when she started working for newspapers she discovered that there was much to write about in her home country, where greedy and corrupt politicians were making themselves rich rather than working for the good of their people.

Fearlessly Daphne exposed criminal and dishonest activities in government through her newspaper articles and she also joined protest marches and made speeches. Her enemies responded with threats and insults and Daphne was imprisoned but she never faltered. Finally her heroic struggle led to her tragic death in a car bomb explosion in October 2017. But since then Daphne has become a hero and an inspiration for everyone, young and old, across the world, who cares about standing up for truth, honesty and justice.

Reviews for Fearless: The Story of Daphne Caruana Galizia

Should be in every primary school collection. * Red Reading Hub * A picture book that reminds me why we need picture books: to tell stories about inspirational people. This story...will stay with me for a long time. -- Jo Bowers * Associate Dean, Cardiff Metropolitan University * It really is special. -- Jon Biddle * Twitter * It coruscates in the way it tells this true story. At once there is a deep, strongly-felt passion for the woman that shines out brightly...there is also - not overtly, but still there below the surface - the roaring anger about how something so good and beautiful could be taken from us. Become friends with the book, listen to the truth of its message, hold this story in your hands and your heart. * A Few to Read * This book powerfully captures Daphne's story of incredible courage and persistence, and will inspire the next generation to continue her fight for truth and justice. -- Reporters without Borders * Rebecca Vincent *
