Lockie Leonard - Series One - X Marks the Dot

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! Thanks to Phillip, breaking news about Lockie and Dot is spreading across Angelus like wildfire: Lockie's kissing Dot. At the wind farm. At five o' clock. Lockie is mortified and just a little bit scared. He can't kiss a girl for the first time in front of the whole town! Lockie tries to take his mind off it by stepping up his and Egg's quest to save the river but it doesn't work. Then, just when Lockie decides it's time to face his fears and kiss Dot, Boof throws a spanner in the works, leaving Lockie in an awkward position.
