Lockie Leonard - Series One - Dog Days

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 total life disaster: no friends, new school and a house that is truly in danger of disappearing into a swamp. But 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. If it wasn't so ridiculous, a kid would get depressed! Lockie and Egg prepare for their public meeting to help save the river. At first, Lockie's committed to the cause. That is, until Dot asks him to surf. With his mind switched to Dot, Lockie neglects his responsibilities and lets everyone down. It's official: Lockie Leonard has turned into a right dog, winding up in the Dog House, where he belongs. And there's only one person who can bail Lockie out: himself. Can Lockie make it up to his nearest and dearest and escape a life sentence in the Dog House?
