Crab Apples

by Ged Maybury

Randy is stuck in Haulaway Bay with big sister Beau and her obsessive dreams of artistic glory, but all he wants is more cash to blow on arcade games. Then, on the same day Piho arrives, Randy discovers a rare type of seaweed that triggers an escalating cascade of crazy consequences.
Turns out it's worth mega-bucks, and the boys know where it grows!
While Randy and Piho drag seaweed in the summer sun, Beau wins her dream-job and Tammy gets political, using science to track the source of a banned chemical. (Oh but surely these diverse events could not possibly be connected?)
As the dopey duo rush to sell their final consignment, the net finally closes. They're forced to prove their innocence in front of the whole town – in the most explosive way possible!
