Nightmare Stairs by Robert Swindells
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?
'..carefully and cleverly put together psychologically perceptive, and not nasty... funny as well as gripping' 'Very short chapters and Swindell's tight hold on suspense makes this a particularly good choice for 11-to-13-year-old reluctant readers.' The Sunday Times 'A sinister, award-winning page-turner' YBT l00 Best Books of l999
