Eleven-year-old Tao loves hanging around with his mates. He used to like surfing with his dad, too, until Dad left home to live with a fashion model. And his mum has a new boyfriend, with altogether too-brainy kids. When Mr Petrovic enters the scheme of things, he becomes the focus for Tao's anger.
Colin Bowles was born in England and moved to Australia when he was twenty. He has been a full-time writer for fifteen years, and has worked as a script-writer and freelance journalist. He is the author of over twenty books, which have been translated into a dozen languages around the world. Colin lives in the bush in south-west Australia, with his two children and a very disobedient dog.
