About this listen
With this series, best-selling author Tim Winton delivers the iconic trio of titles that are still the foremost definitive texts on contemporary Australian life for teenage boys.
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.
©1990 Tim Winton (P)2022 Bolinda PublishingCritic Reviews
"Winton's dry, typically Down Under wit and his use of alien sometimes challenging Australian slang should charm young readers on this side of the equator." (Publishers Weekly)
"A slapstick coming-of-age story set in a small Australian town." (Kirkus)
