An okay book.
Lockie’s just arrived in a new town and enrolled at a new school. His dad’s a cop. Strike 1. His mother is almost frightening in her understanding of his pre-adolescent problems. Strike 2. His brother still wets the bed. Strike 3.
Lockie’s out even before he’s been dacked and painted with vegemite on his first day at school. The ripe rancid smell of his undies doesn’t help his head space and, before long, several teachers take an intense dislike to him.
