Publisher's Synopsis
The Boy Who Was Afraid of Heights: Tom is sent to an adventure holiday centre in Cornwall at the last minute where all the other kids know one another. He feels out of place at first especially when he is the only one who can't abseil down the cliff. But then Suzy befriends him and Suzy is very adventurous and can do everything: canoe, rock climb, swim, navigate in the dark...anything! Tom has to fight hard just to keep up with her. As he is gradually accepted by the other children he gets to join in all the fun of the holiday with the tricks the boys and girls play on each other and the night raids. But there is something more sinister going on in the middle of the night at the small lake down the road and Tom allies himself with Suzy to find out exactly what!
