Cliffhanger

Weaves plenty of plot strands in a very short space, and leaves us smiling at the end. Which is definitely the way to do it

An excellent, fast-moving story, full of humour for competent readers

Jacqueline Wilson's easy, humorous style deals lightly with a serious problem. Many children who share Tim's agonies will perhaps take courage from this entertaining story

From climbing and abseiling to canoeing and a Crazy Bucket Race, Tim's adventure holiday promises to be full of action. There's just one problem: he is hopeless at sports of any kind. 
 
Can Tim survive the horrors of a week absolutely packed with activity? Can his team - the Tigers - be the overall champions? There are some surprises in store for everyone!

Tim is a disaster when it comes to any kind of sport. So how will he cope with an adventure holiday?
