Nightmare Stairs

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.

A terrifying read from one of today's master storytellers.

Reviews

Carefully and cleverly put together. Psychologically perceptive and not nasty . . . Funny as well as gripping . . . Swindell's tight hold on suspense makes this a particularly good choice for reluctant readers

—— The Sunday Times

Robert Swindells writes the kind of books that are so scary, you're afraid to turn the page
