Charlie has ‘borrowed’ three dollars from his mum
to buy an icy pole, and Charlie’s dad has brought
home a dingo pup. So Mum isn’t happy with either
Dad or Charlie!
To get back in her good books Charlie has to
quickly find a way to recoup the three dollars and
work out how to keep the pup.
It’s not hard to believe that trouble follows,
but the ever-resourceful Charlie soon finds a plan.


Dad goes gold prospecting and entrusts Charlie
with an important task—keeping an eye on his
shed. A bloke’s shed is sacred, so Charlie is horrified
when Mum finds the shed key and puts all Dad’s
junk out for collection. To make matters worse,
Charlie loses Mum’s pet cat and Grandpa loses his
favourite carpet python.
Can Charlie find the pets and restock the shed
before anyone finds out what happened … and
before Cyclone Betty hits town?
