It's hard for Ian not to put his foot in it with his new girlfriend, but things really toughen up when he's looking after her cello and it gets run over by a truck. Can Ian and his mates raise fifteen hundred dollars repair money in under a week? Will Ian have to work at the Pocky's Safari Park? And if his girlfriend doesn't kill him first, will the Pocky kids finish the job? Ian Rude and the Pockys are back in another uproarious adventure that proves that the course of true love doesn't run smoothly. It runs through the middle of a swamp -- with someone trying to stick a screwdriver up your nostril.
