Lockie Leonard - Series One - Boredom Busters

Lockie Leonard, hot surf rat, is twelve and three quarters years old. Lockie and his family have just moved to the most remote town on earth, Angelus. For Lockie this is a disaster: no friends, new school and a house that is truly in danger of disappearing into a swamp. Then Lockie spots the one thing that makes it all okay. This weird little town has the best surf he has ever seen. Not that this necessarily helps him survive his frighteningly understanding parents, his father's job as the local police sergeant, a little brother who can't stop wetting the bed, a new friend 'Egg' who is a heavy metal devotee and the attentions of the cutest girl in school, Vicki Streeton. It can only mean worry, embarrassment, wild times and lots of weirdness. With not much else going on in Angelus, the poor, motherless Loopy Leonards have become the preferred conversation topic. It seems everyone is talking about how the Leonards have fallen in a hole since Mum went into hospital. Now, to make matters worse, they have become the recipients of charity from do gooders: casseroles, working bees, random people are even folding Lockie's underwear! And Lockie thinks he knows who is to blame for it all: Vicki Streeton. Is Lockie right? Or is it about time he learnt the whole world doesn't necessarily revolve around him?
