What is The Twelfth Floor Kids about?
When the children living on the twelfth floor see something frightening in the lift, they decide the stairs are safer—even though there are twelve floors to climb. At home, their parents listen to the astonishing story over tea, but do they believe it? With a pantomime at Beechtree Flats that evening, the family has plenty to think about. Ruth Symes’s lively, accessible story blends a child’s vivid imagination with everyday family life, inviting readers to decide what really happened in the lift.
