What this story is about
(First
book in the Johnny Whistler series)
Johnny Whistler, 12,
Bayside’s popular busker, and his best friend, Bouncer Scott, think life is all
fun and show biz, until they discover evidence that the town’s bullying Mayor,
Herbert Hatfield, has been dumping toxic waste at sea.
But Mayor Hatfield
owns the local newspaper, the local radio station, and the ship that dumps his
factory’s poisonous waste. And the ship’s crew quickly removes the boys’
evidence – the leaking drums they found on the rocks at Needle Point.
Then Johnny,
Bouncer, and Johnny’s sister, Debbie, find unusual evidence of another kind –
the three small sand spiders they rescued from the toxic spillage that have
become multi-coloured monsters.
And they soon
discover just how useful these huge spiders can be in tackling the Mayor and his
environmentally mucky factory.
