I'm Not Scared
Summary
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.

Anna
Summary
In una Sicilia distopica, una ragazzina di tredici anni parte alla ricerca del fratellino rapito. Decimata da un virus che uccide solo gli adulti, l'isola è percorsa da selvagge orde di ragazzini e cani randagi. Se a guidare Anna in questa terra devastata, tra centri commerciali fumanti e città abbandonate, è il quaderno "delle cose importanti" in cui la mamma le ha scritto le istruzioni per sopravvivere, ad accompagnarla nel viaggio è un bianco maremmano dalle sette vite e una tenace e incorruttibile speranza di salvezza.

Let the Games Begin
Summary
It's the night of the most decadent party of the century. A rags-to-riches real estate magnate has planned an over-the-top weekend safari for the who’s-who of celebrities at his sprawling residence in Villa Ada - once a public park, now the largest private home in Rome. Starlets, politicians, soccer stars, and intellectuals all turn up to rub elbows. Among them is a neurotically charming author struggling to write his next literary tome and pining for renewed recognition. In an unexpected turn of events, he crosses paths with The Wilde Beasts of Abaddon, a satanic sect planning to ruin the evening’s festivities in order to go down in history as a world-famous cult. What was intended as the most spectacular fête of the year quickly descends into apocalyptic chaos. In this satirical tragicomedy, Niccolò Ammaniti, winner of the prestigious Strega Prize, reveals a side of modern culture riddled with superficiality and vulgarity that nourishes our deepest dreams and insecurities.

Io e te
Summary
Lorenzo, un quattordicenne introverso e un po' nevrotico, si è barricato in cantina dove conta di passare di nascosto la sua settimana bianca, mentre tutti lo credono in montagna. Al riparo da ogni conflitto, dai compagni di scuola, dalle commedie quotidiane: ecco il suo sogno di felicità. Ma l'arrivo improvviso di Olivia, la sorellastra piena di ruvida vitalità e di problemi, lo costringe a rivedere i suoi piani e ad accettare il gioco caotico della vita là fuori. Nel 2012 da questo romanzo Bernardo Bertolucci ha tratto il film omonimo.
