Lockie Leonard: Legend

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Lockie's survived his first year of high school, settling into a new town and his first mad love affair—it's all behind him; he made it!

Sadly, the world of weirdness hasn't finished with him yet. His little brother's hormones have kicked in, his baby sister refuses to walk or talk—but eats anything in sight—his Dad brings home a sheep and his Mum seems to have checked out of the here and now.

As Lockie's world turns upside down, he learns that life is never as simple as it seems and along the way, finds out a lot more about himself than he ever realised was there.

Lockie Leonard: Legend is a tale of unexpected challenges and self-discovery that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the chaos of adolescence.
