Lockie Leonard, hot surf-rat, is in love. The human torpedo is barely settled into his new school and already he's got a girl on his mind. And not just any girl: it has to be Vicki Streeton, the smartest, prettiest, richest girl in the class. But what chance have you got when your dad's a cop, your mum's a frighteningly understanding parent, your brother wets the bed and the teachers take an instant dislike to you and then you fall in love at 12-and-three-quarter years old? It can only mean trouble, worry, mega-embarrassment and some wild, wild times.

Lockie's survived his first year of high school, settling into a new town and his first mad love affair—it's all behind him; he made it! But the world of weirdness hasn't finished with him yet. His little brother's hormones have kicked in, his baby sister refuses to walk or talk—but eats anything in sight—his dad arrests a sheep and his mum seems to have checked out of the here and now. As Lockie's world turns upside down, he learns that life is never as simple as it seems and along the way finds out a lot more about himself than he ever realised was there.

Nothing's easy for Lockie Leonard. Dumped by his girlfriend, he's back to being the loneliest kid in town and life looks bleak. That is until he meets Egg—who might be the weirdest human being he's ever met. On top of all that, Lockie decides to save the planet, at least the bit of it he lives on. Then he falls in love again, which would be okay except she's younger and surfs better. Can a 13-year-old surf rat have a headbanger for a best mate? Will he save the town from vile pollution? Will his love outlast the school term?
