Product description
I slipped backwards and suddenly… there I was! Suspended. In mid-air. ‘Help!’
From climbing and abseiling to canoeing and the Crazy Bucket Race, the adventure holiday which Tim’s dad picks promises to be full of action. There’s just one problem: Tim is hopeless at sports of every kind. How on earth will he survive the horrors of a week packed with healthy activity? And even worse, how will he live through the ordeal of having to bunk with bullying Giles? Full of cliffhanging surprises, Jacqueline Wilson’s comical classic will have readers hanging on every word.

libertylovelawton
on 8 March 2014I liked this book because it shows Tim’s feelings really well and shows what kind of a person he is. It also shows that if you get in a situation like that sometimes it can end out great.my opinion on this book is good because I think it helps kids understand well and to see in there mind what it looks like. The title is really good because it makes people want to read it, and I think the author, Jacqueline Wilson, has done excellent writing it aswell as Nick Sharratt has done good illustrating it. I would give this book a 8 out off 10 , I would also recommend it to school and kids under the age on 15

fantasticmissfox
on 5 March 2014This is a very funny book about Tim, a mummy’s boy who is forced by his dad to go to a summer camp and participate in activities like abseiling canoeing etc. He immediately makes friends with biscuits, a fat boy who loves sweets. He hates it at first but at the finish it all ends well.

on 4 March 2014This book is good should be rated 7-3 it is an easy book to read and understand but is not Jacqueline Wilson’s best book it’s very short and it a boy on a cliff and he shouts for help read if u want to know what happens will he survive or not

miriameve
on 4 March 2014This book is a refreshing change from the usual books as it is told from a boys point of view.
This book is really funny and is a good mini read for a bit of spare time. It was great to revisit Biscuits from best friends and, once again, he made me laugh out loud!
Thanks Jacqueline, for another great book!

justbecauseimnerdy
on 4 March 2014This book is okay, but not up to Wilson’s usual standard. Tim is a nice, easy-to-understand, relatable character, but the book is more suited to children under the recommended age – I would say it is suitable for children aged 3 – 7.
-
heyay234
on 3 March 2014Cliffhanger is a great book? Well, I think that it is, it is about a boy who is hanged on a cliff and shouts for help! Will he have HELP OR NOT!!!.......Read the book to know more if he is going to SURVIVE!!!

on 5 March 2013I read this years ago, and recently we went on a residential with school where we were going to do abseiling! This book made me quite scared about it! But then I did it for real, and it wasn’t that bad – I should have realised it was only a story but I was only young!

on 4 July 2012It was alright, not my favourite though. I much prefer other Jacqueline Wilson books. This was just a bit boring to me, but I still advise you to try it as it might be of your interest. And don’t judge a book by it’s cover!

on 14 September 2011This wasn’t as good as Jacky’s other books but I think that’s because it was a male main character instead of female.
