Mina and Jacob are step siblings. Unwilling ones. Mina thinks Jake is a mummy's boy. Jake thinks Mina is weird and witchy. In fact, the only thing these two can agree upon is that they both dislike new baby Bryan even more than they dislike one another. And who could blame them? Not only does Bryan take up all the attention of both parents, but he's also a colicky baby who cries from morning 'til night. And when he's not crying, he's farting and pooing and polluting the air with the foulest of smells. So when Dad takes a three-month contract at a mine on the edge of the Great Desert, neither Mina nor Josh are pleased to learn they'll be spending their summer in the back end beyond. With each other. And Bryan.

[[Nearly Departed by Rook Hastings]] also talks about a place that is an anytown on the outside but anything but on the inside. [[The Hunting Ground by Cliff McNish]] is a beautifully written and truly chilling ghost story set in a creepy mansion and featuring lost children, fearsome hunters and echoing nursery rhymes. [[Dark Woods by Steve Voake]] is a highly original thriller-come-horror story involving weird science, bogeymen and being lost in the woods. You'll never think of a camping trip in quite the same way again.
