Scumbuster

Lockie Leonard, Book 2

By: Tim Winton

Narrated by: Orlando Schwerdt

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)
