About this listen

A widely acclaimed international best seller, I'm Not Scared combines a coming-of-age narrative with a satisfying and spine-tingling story of suspense.

A sweltering heat wave hits a tiny village in Southern Italy, sending the adults to seek shelter while their children bicycle freely throughout the countryside, playing games and getting into trouble. When the gang find a dilapidated farmhouse, nine-year-old Michele Amitrano makes a discovery so momentous he dare not tell a soul. It is a secret that will force Michele to question everything and everyone around him.

An enthralling thriller, I'm Not Scared is also a devastatingly authentic portrayal of childhood and the tension when it must join the adult world.

Critic reviews

"There is horror and beauty so neatly juxtaposed and well-crafted that the effect is breath-taking." ( Vogue)

"An exquisite parable about the loss of innocence." ( The Daily Telegraph)

"Ammaniti’s prose is faultless from the first." ( The Independent on Sunday)

Most relevant

I’d like to read another book by this author as I found the story well crafted but the subject rather unpleasant. There was no time where the reader/listener could relax because the plot kept you consistently on edge.
