The Stuff of Nightmares
Blackman, Malorie
Kyle has always been afraid of things, especially dying. But when he gets on the train that is taking him and his class on a school trip, he has no idea how close to death he is going to come. Death enters the train and Kyle moves with him, past his friends, who are frozen in time, in life-or-death situations. Kyle finds that he can pick up on their deepest, darkest fears – real things that have happened to them, or may happen in the future, and sometimes their surreal nightmares too. Kyle realises that he isn’t the only one who has buried fears and, more importantly, he now burns with the desire to live, and to live without fear. But will death release him?
Reviews
This book is about a young boy who goes on a trip with his school and they have a terrible train crash! He wakes up after being unconscious and he develops the ability to jump into people's dreams. Must read book but for older readers.

This was a fast and furiously well paced book, bringing to life ghosts and nightmares. I loved reading this cleverly woven tale even if it did include quite gruesome topics. Due to key concepts and gory I would recommend this book to children aged 12 and upwards. Praise for Malorie Blackman who has yet again created a masterpiece on paper!
