I'm Not Scared by Niccolò Ammaniti
4.0

Rural Italy, a hot summer in the late seventies, a terrible secret discovered by a nine-year-old boy - these are the elements that Ammaniti combines to create one of the most suspenseful books I’ve read in quite a while. Filled with the fears and magic of childhood, this is a spell-binding tale of how one fearful boy makes the discovery within himself that he has the power to make a difference. I couldn’t put it down.
