Kiss of Death was published in June 2007 by Barrington Stoke, the specialists in books for reluctant readers.
When you lose someone close to you, they do not go away - not all at once. They can still take you by surprise. You find one of their hairs on the collar of a coat. In a used plastic bag you see a shopping list in their writing. You flip open your phone, and there are all the messages they sent you, about ordinary, everyday things - and you just can't bear to delete them.
That's normal. It happens to everyone. But I wonder: what happens when the person you have lost wants you to follow them?
That's where Kiss of Death comes in…
Fly back to the Charles Butler Home Page....
Fly back to Children's Books
This is a scary story, which invites readers to decide whether Nick is so devastated by the loss of Kate that he imagines things (with disastrous results), or genuinely haunted by a malevolent spirit...
Excellent chilling reading, in Barrington Stoke's usual chunky print, liberally interpersed with helpful illustration. (Writeaway)
