Product Description
Amazon Review
Jacqueline Wilson strikes again in her own inimitable style with this funny, touching and at times thought provoking tale of a little boy facing up to his very worst fears and coming out on top.
When his dad decides to send him on an adventure holiday, poor Tim--who is more suited to armchair pursuits--realises that this could well turn out to be the very worst time of his entire life. Little does he know quite how bad things will get, especially when he is forced to bunk-in with the hideous, arrogant and bullying Giles. But as the holiday progresses he finds himself quite enjoying the challenges of the week and even abseiling--once he is safely back at the bottom of the cliff--doesn¹t seem so bad.
A heartwarming tale of friendship and close-to-home bravery that will have young readers giggling and gasping from beginning to end --Susan Harrison
Review
"Weaves plenty of plot strands in a very short space, and leaves us smiling at the end. Which is definitely the way to do it" (Daily Telegraph )
"An excellent, fast-moving story, full of humour for competent readers" (The Good Book Guide )
"Jacqueline Wilson's easy, humorous style deals lightly with a serious problem. Many children who share Tim's agonies will perhaps take courage from this entertaining story" (The School Librarian ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

We listen to audiobooks in the car on long journeys.
It's about tim who also stars in "Buried Alive" and if possible, should be listened to before Buried because it introduces tim to "Biscuits".
Tim doesn't want to go on adventure holiday but is forced to go by his dad. He starts off not liking it and having problems with some of the other children, finds a friend in Biscuits and eventually has a great time.
The kids loved it and the adults found it listenable.
Recommended along with Buried Alive.

This book really is a cliffhanger that hangs you in suspense all the way through. Once you pick it up its unputdownable. I had already read this book as the summer reading task, but I enjoyed it as much as when I read it in the summer. My favourite characters are Tim, Biscuits and Gilles. Tim goes to an adventure holiday because his Dad made him, but Tim and his Mum don't want Tim to go. They all get there and Tim gets picked to go and be in the tigers. They have a game of Triangles and they went abseiling and then a canoe race and finally the crazy bucket race. When I read this book it is still very exiting.

We liked Cliffhanger because it was exciting and we couldn't wait to read what happened next. Tim went on an adventure holiday. He wasn't very good at sport but he found out that he was better than he thought. Tim made friends with a boy called Biscuits. We liked Biscuits because he was funny and always eating. Tim was very scared when he tried to abseil, nevertheless, he had a go with surprising results.

I like this book because i thought that it was a attractive cover. I also like this book because after every chapter it ends on a cliffhanger. I think Jacquline Wilson is a very good author. She writes wonderful books aand has a very imaginative mind. Cliffhanger took my mind away into another world. The illustration are also very attractive. Tim is not very good at sports and has been sent on a adventure holiday by his dad. can he and his team the tigers be the champions find out from the award winning authors book CLIFFHANGER!!!!!

Superb book - as a year 3 teacher I used this as part of the Mystery and Adventure narrative unit - children produced excellent work as a result of the plot. Ms Wilson has an effortless talent for engaging young readers. Gold star!
