Hey, I want to know this. But in the meantime, we'll have to use this thread to the same ends.

Ok, my mystery story is children's fiction and involves a girl whose drawings sort of came to life - they involved large stones that moved and she had to keep drawing to get away from the advancing problem. I think she drew a house to hide in. Umm, it was so much better than described there...

tell us about the book we may know it..

sounds like the film paperhouse

Was that a film too Walnut, Paper House?

I remember that book. But not the name (of course!)

Will cast mind back....

is it marianne dreams?

The book was called Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr.

oh my god, the film is terrifying

cross posts.

There you go

ooh have to read the book now. very scary unnerving film isn't it

ohh ledodgy!! great minds but as you see i was first

scared me witless - my children loved it!

Marianne Dreams- I had totally forgotten about that book- I LOVED it as a child.....

I've only seen the film but like SEA want to read the book now!

Right who's next?

There is a sequel to Marianne Dreams, anyone read it? Called Marianne and Mark, I think - very different style (no horror/scary aspect) but excellent.

that sequel sounds interesting!

i have a memory of a book in our school library - no idea of the story but remember the pictures were photographs and a boy let go of hundreds of baloons in a bright blue sky

the colour plates have stayed with me forever - would love to find it!

Oh thank you so much, wonderful MNers!!! This book pops into my head every now and then and I thought I'd never remember it. Had no idea it was a classic. I've added it to my Amazon wish list! A sequel too?! Will look that one up.

Yes, next book description please! (Quick, before I get another one in!)

It wasn't The Red balloon was it?
