by Aidan Chambers (Author)
In this selection of original short stories, Aidan explores moments of truth, when a character or event reveal an often surprising meaning. A girl loses her humanity when she takes a summer job as a theme-park character. A boy believes he sees a girl jump to her death, only to discover the same event happened 100 years before, these provocative stories lend themselves beautifully to discussion. The titular story in particular, in which what begins as an innocent game turns deadly, will haunt the reader for a long time after.
