      Frog Freakout - Ali Sparkes

      It’s raining sideways, said Danny. "In fact, I’m fairly sure it’s just started raining up." He slammed the cabin door behind him and thumped down heavily on the bed next to Josh.

      It’ll probably stop soon, sighed Josh, who was peering at a book in the dim light. The energy-saving bulbs in the cabin were orangey and not very bright.

      You said that yesterday, grumbled Danny. And the day before.

      Well, I’m not a weather forecaster! said Josh. I don’t know! I’m just trying to be cheerful.

      Just trying to be cheerful, mimicked Danny in a silly high voice. He kicked a bucket, which was collecting some drips from the ceiling. Why did I ever say yes to this stupid summer camp?

      It was the rappelling, said Josh, still reading. And the canoeing. And the den building and the tree climbing.

      Danny folded his arms and huffed. There had been some fun—bits of it—in between the rain. The rappelling was great. Even Josh had had a go, although he’d looked as white as a sheet in his ropes and safety helmet as he stepped off the ten-meter-high platform. The canoeing had been good too. But both these things had been cut short when the rain and wind got so bad the instructors couldn’t actually see the kids anymore.

      Since then there had been indoor stuff going on. To start with, loads of them had been playing handheld computer games for a few hours in the big canvas tepee, and that was a brilliant laugh . . . right up until Drill Sergeant had stomped in and confiscated them all.

      Didn’t you read the rules? he bellowed as the rain drummed loudly above them. Nobody should have brought any computer games or mobile phones or gadgets with them! This is Outdoor Action Camp—not Suction Your Eyeballs to a Beeping Screen Camp. Here—read some pamphlets on how to light a campfire instead.

      His name was Steve, but every kid there called him Drill Sergeant because he was so shouty. There was a rumor that he’d been a prison guard in his last job. He had a jaw like a cement block and tiny dark eyes that glittered malevolently at kids who didn’t instantly do as they were told. Several had been refused dessert and treats by Steve for misbehaving (Danny on day one!). And the man shouted so loudly whenever he was angry that the crows in a nearby clump of trees would scatter into the sky, cawing with
