Product Description

Product Description
Sam is scared, each night he has a recurring dream that he is going to the same dark forest. Then in the centre of the forest, a hand claws its way out of the ground. Someone - or something - has been brought back to life. What's more, it has come with a message that Sam can't afford to ignore.

From the Back Cover
'ONE IS DEAD, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN, A NAME LIVED ON WHEN THE BODY WAS ROTTEN...'

Sam is scared - more scared than he's ever been before. Each night, when he goes to sleep, he dreams he is going to the same place - a dark, silent forest, choked with dense undergrowth. And then the voices begin...

First he hears children chanting - as if they are playing some old game. Then, in the centre of the forest, a hand claws its way out of the ground. Someone - or something - has been brought back to life. What's more, it has come with an astonishing message that Sam cannot afford to ignore ...

3.0 out of 5 stars Too scary for some children, 7 Mar 2008
Please beware - this book is quite scary and may not be suitable for some children despite the "8-11" publisher's recommendation.
My 10 yr old was given this in school to read and suffered nightmares and sleepness nights for days afterwards. Needless to say we've asked the school to be more careful in future..!
I have not read the entire book, but for me the whole premise and atmosphere of what I have read seems innapropriate for this age group. All kids are different so if yours enjoys all things spooky then they'll enjoy this, but parental judgement should be observed.
