Life is never easy for Archie Roach, but some days it gets downright perplexing. He's not much good at anything, he's got the meanest mum in the whole universe and now some little kid wants him to save his granddad's house, all because he read about Archie winning a fishing competition. And as if that wasn't enough, a total maniac psycho tagger's moved into town. the tagger's already run foul of Community Constable Wang, who's given him one last chance and forced him to join Archie's Sea Scout pack. It's just not fair - you shouldn't have so many problems when you're only twelve. But Archie is no ordinary kid, and his ducking and diving will have you in stitches as he deals with life in his own amazing way. this is Archie's second series of adventures, once again written by Leonie thorpe, who lives in Lyttelton with her daughters. While reading the first book would be helpful and fun, it's not essential to enjoy a rollicking series of misadventures and escapades in a small coastal town with a fine boating tradition and a very unusual troop of sea scouts.
