Notes

256 p. Inseparable Aussie friends Dean and Pelly frequently get up to no good - that's what makes them the Steel Pelicans. But Dean's homemade fireworks take things too far, and then there is a bombshell of another sort; Pelly's parents are shifting the family back to New Zealand. Via email and Skype they arrange for Dean to visit in the school holidays. In the meantime, Pelly and his new friend Afi have stumbled upon a drug ring. They are collecting the evidence they need to bust the operation, when Dean joins them from Australia. Pelly might have changed, but devil-may-care Dean most certainly hasn't. In no time at all, Dean's obsession with explosives threatens not only the investigation but also their lives. New Zealand author.
