In a tiny community of five houses in the middle of rural Italy, the adults are sheltering indoors while six children venture out on their bikes across the scorched, deserted countryside. Exploring a dilapidated farmhouse, Michele discovers a secret so momentous, so terrible, that he dare not tell anyone. One relentlessly hot summer, six children explore the scorched wheat-fields that enclose their tiny Italian village. 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 unputdownable thriller, I'm Not Scared is also a devastatingly authentic portrayal of childhood and the tension when it must join the adult world.
