I'm Not Scared by Niccolo Ammaniti In a tiny community of five houses enclosed by wheat fields, the adults shelter indoors while six children venture out on their bikes across the scorched, deserted countryside. Exploring an uninhabited farmhouse, nine-year-old Michele Amitrano discovers a secret so momentous, so terrible, that he dare not tell anyone about it. To come to terms with what he has found, Michele has to draw strength from his own sense of humanity. View the I'm not Scared discussion |

Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold When we first meet Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven. As she looks down from this strange new place, she tells us, in the fresh and spirited voice of a fourteen-year-old girl, a tale that is both haunting and full of hope. In the weeks following her death, Susie watches life continuing without her - her school friends trading rumours about her disappearance, her family holding out hope that she'll be found, her killer trying to cover his tracks. As months pass without leads, Susie sees her parents' marriage being contorted by loss, her sister hardening herself in an effort to stay strong, her little brother trying to grasp the meaning of the word gone. And she explores heaven. It looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets. There are counsellors to help newcomers adjust and friends to room with. Everything she ever wanted appears as soon as she thinks of it - except the thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on Earth. View the Lovely Bones discussion |
