Very funny. Enjoyable for people aged 7-12.
Tim is sent to an adventure holiday but he hates sports. He meet five other people there. Giles- a stuck-up tennis hopeful, Biscits- a loveable greedy fat boy who is best friends with Tim, Laura- a girly unimportant character who is always combing her hair, Leslie- Laura's best friend and Kelly- Tim and Bicits's friend. They are all on the Tiger team. The three main characters struggle to survive there(Tim nearly died when going absieling). On the final day the teams compete in the crazy bucket race. And won! Who brought them to glory? Tim!! They are then confirmed the winning team of the whole thing.
An enjoyable short read.
I got the book primary school and i was always reading it :):).
