Loading... I'm Not Scared (2001)by Niccolo Ammaniti
Beautifully written novel apparently inspired by a true story. When nine-year-old Michele loses a race up a mountain, he is dared to climb through the upper storeys of an abandoned house. What he finds there becomes his secret, and change his perspective on his friends, his family and his future. Lyrical prose embraces the child's perspective, with childlike distractions, preoccupations and fears of monsters - even when it becomes clear to Michele that perhaps, as his father tells him, it is time to forget monsters and fear men. Well worth a read. (  ) imyril | May 2, 2013 |  After so much waste paper I deserved a really good book, seriously. I had almost plegded not reading anything with a child or teen protagonist, but it was great, really.
