A slutary and funny tale about not giving up. Mary Arrigan Irish Examiner
From climbing and abseiling to canoeing and a Crazy Bucket Race, the adventure
holiday promises to be full of action. Theres just one problem as far as Tim
is concerned: he is hopeless at sports of any kind.

Can Tim survive the horrors of a week absolutely packed with activity? Can his
team the Tigers be the overall champions? There are some surprises in store
for everyone!
