Produktbeschreibung

"Sucks you in like The Blair Witch Project." Ian Thomson, Observer

One relentlessly hot summer, six children explore the scorched wheat-fields that enclose their tiny community in the Italian countryside. But when the gang chances on a dilapidated farmhouse, nine-year old Michele Amitrano makes a discovery so terrifying he dare not tell anyone about it. I'm Not Scared is a devastatingly authentic portrayal of childhood and an unputdownable piece of storytelling. Acclaimed across the world, it introduces British readers to one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary fiction.

"This is one of those books where, after a couple of paragraphs you know that you're in safe hands, and after a couple of pages you're lost. Don't start it on the way home from work unless the train terminates at your station." Michael Dibdin, Guardian

"An exquisite parable about the loss of innocence." David Isaacson, Daily Telegraph

"Ammaniti's prose is faultless from the first." Nicola Smyth, Independent on Sunday

Includes an exclusive pre-publication extract from the author's new book
