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