Overview"Stop all this talk about monsters, Michele. Monsters don t exist. It s men you should be afraid of, not monsters. 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. On a dare, nine-year-old Michele Amitrano enters an old, abandoned farmhouse, where he stumbles upon a secret so terrible that he can t tell anybody. As the truth emerges, Michele learns that the horror in the creepy old house is closer to home than he ever imagined. A widely acclaimed international bestseller, I m Not Scared is a spine-tingling novel that combines a coming of age narrative with a satisfying, enthralling story of suspense."""
