Synopsis

Two spooky stories from double-Carnegie-winner, Berlie Doherty. Dark and atmospheric these two tales send a chill down the spine. A desolate winter moor is the backdrop to the first story of a haunting friendship, and, in the second, when the past comes back to haunt Charlie, it becomes impossible to tell what is real and what isn't.

 Diamond/Band 17 books offer more complex, underlying themes to give opportunities for children to understand causes and points of view.

 Text type: Two stories by a significant author.

 A feelings bar chart on pages 54-55 show the rise and fall in the narrators emotions during the first story, Nightmare.

 Curriculum links: Citizenship: Living in a diverse world.

 This book has been quizzed for Accelerated Reader.
