Bigg School: Scaredy Cat

Ajay isn't too sure how he feels about going on the Year 7 trip to an activity centre - but he discovers that he's braver than he thinks...

Board-game pro and science whizz Ajay is good at lots of things, but he knows that the Year Seven trip to the Merrywood Activity Centre will push him way out of his comfort zone. Sure enough, Ajay is soon wishing he was back home, and it doesn't help that sporty, loud Ollie Marsden has got it in for him.

When Ajay's caught on camera acting like a pathetic scaredy cat, he feels like a total failure. Things go from bad to worse when a twilight orienteering challenge goes horribly wrong.

Does Ajay have what it takes to face his fears and save the day?
