Ajay is scared of everything - spiders, heights, the dark - you name it, Ajay is scared of it! So when his two best friends persuade him to sign up for the year 7 trip to Merrywood Activity Centre, he knows he's about to be pushed WAY out of his comfort zone. Faced with the killer combination of outdoor pursuits, homesickness and getting teased by the popular and competitive Ollie, Ajay feels like a total failure. But when a twilight orienteering challenge goes horribly wrong, Ajay is forced to face his fears, proving that being brave when it counts is much more important than topping the laser tag leader board!
