Product Description

Product Description

I'm falling - falling down steep, narrow stairs - If I hit the bottom asleep, I know I'll never wake. Every night, Kirsty wakes up screaming. Every night, she has the same terrible nightmare - of falling downstairs. But does she fall? Or is she pushed? Then Kirsty discovers that her grandma died falling downstairs and she begins to wonder: is the dream hinting at a dark secret in her family? She has to know the truth. But tracking a murderer is a dangerous game, and as she delves into the past, Kirsty uncovers a secret more terrible than anything she can imagine. This is a terrifying read from one of today's master storytellers. It is the winner of the Sheffield Children's book award for best shorter novel. "Cleverly put together - funny as well as gripping", - "Sunday Times".

This book is very good and keeps you guessing until the very end.When Kirsty has nightmares of her self falling down a flight of stairs, she discovers, her gran was killed the same way.She begins to think her gran was deliberately murdered. So she sets out to find the killer.But the ending is very unexpected. Is her wicked aunt really guilty ?

1.0 out of 5 stars An ill-written terrifying tale with uncertain morality, 9 Dec 2000
This review is from: Nightmare Stairs (Paperback)
This book fills me with horror. It appears to condone the idea of murder or manslaughter. The main character's mother goes to prison for matricide 'but we must learn not to judge people'. 'She was always a super mum to me'. A chilling tale of what is wrong with our country.
