I read "Weirdo's War" by Michael Coleman.

There are two boys Tozer snd Daniel. The two boys get stuck down a hole at the adventure camp they are at with the school. the two of them become very scared and worried. Daniel tells us about Tozer hating him and Tozers friends taking Daniels new book and then scatter the paper out the window. On the bus stop up to the camp David sat next to Tozer. Tozer didnt speak to Daniel on the bus until they started being cheeky to him. When they got to the camp Daniel was put into a room with Tozer and Greg. in the next few chapters Tozer and Daniel try getting out of the hole, they try to lift each other up and throw stone and the water starts pouring in. It slowly starts filling up the hole and Daniel and Tozer begin to float towards the gap in the wall carrying the other body. When they reach the gap they start walking through small pathways and finally get out. Once their out they go back to the camp and go home. On the way home Tozer sits next to Daniel and explains to him that he is a good friend and sticks up for him when Yeandle becomes nasty to him.
