Tumescent male passion is newcomer Lockie's main problem when he's taken up by the delicious Vicki Streeton, femme fatale at all of 13 years old! Their liaison introduces him to fame and popularity by association, but it also tangles him up in the thorny forest of 'lurve'. The rapid pace and quaintly creative aussie lingo make this an entertaining, amusing read-mainly for boys who seek a bit of mild titillation.
