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. This is a terrifying read from one of today's master storytellers. It is the winner of the Sheffield Children's book award for best shorter novel.
