Nightmare Stairs

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 down stairs 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.

The Sunday Times

"Cleverly put together . . . funny as well as gripping. Very short chapters and Swindells' tight hold on suspense makes this a particularly good choice for 11- to 13-year-old reluctant readers."

School Library Journal

"Suspense sprinkled with schoolgirl humor enlivens this fast-paced story to its final twist."
