Story
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.

Abel Jackson lives with his mother, Dora, at Longboat Bay, an isolated stretch of coast whose waters teem with fish. Theirs is a simple life. It’s tough. And at times it’s lonely. But Abel has friends in the sea, particularly the magnificent old groper he meets one day while diving for abalone. Abel learns that the sea and its treasures are precious. And as Longboat Bay is threatened by greedy developers and overfishing, Abel and his mum wonder how they can keep their homeplace safe.

Publisher's Summary
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.
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?
Another gnarly situation for Lockie Leonard, Scumbuster!
Critic Reviews
"Winton knows surfing, understands adolescence, and exhibits great comic pacing; he's a flat-out good writer, and this is a flat-out funny book." (Kirkus Reviews)
