Lockie Leonard Series One
Synopsis
Award-winning Lockie Leonard is moving into production on its second exciting new series.
***
Lockie Leonard, hot surf-rat is twelve and three quarters years old. Lockie and his family have just moved to the most remote town on earth, Angelus. For Lockie this is a TOTAL LIFE DISASTER: no friends, new school and a house that is truly in danger of disappearing into a swamp...but then Lockie spots the one thing that makes it all okay, this weird little town has the best surf he has ever seen.
The Human Torpedo, as his Dad nicknames him, has a unique way of viewing the world. Lockie Leonard cannot lie, he is incapable of going with the flow and always tells it like he sees it. Not that this necessarily helps him survive his frighteningly understanding parents, his fathers job as the local cop, a brother who can't stop wetting the bed, a horror first day at his new school and a new friend ‘Egg' who is a heavy metal devotee. It can only mean worry, embarrassment, wild times and lots of weirdness. If it wasn't so ridiculous, a kid would get depressed!
Through the eyes of Lockie Leonard we view the world and we guarantee you will be laughing and enjoying this truly mixed-up, yet very normal life of Lockie Leonard, his family and friends.
Lockie Leonard is based on the award winning novels by Booker nominated author Tim Winton. Set against a backdrop of great surf on the spectacular south coast of Western Australia, Lockie Leonard's, quick wit, physical humour, emotional depth and acute observation guarantees fresh new entertainment for older children.
