Dacked!

Okay, the surf's sweet, the sand's hot (so are the people on it), you're happily reading between the flags and one of these stories sneaks up behind you and you're Dacked!

Any minute, you won't be the only one laughing. So before you go any further, find yourself a spare pair of pants. You're going to need them!

Andrew Daddo's latest collection of stories is about the totally mad way we spend our time fishing, diving, sailing, surfing, water-skiing and just plain lazing away on the beach.

Losing your pants on the skis, and having to borrow some from your father or his new girlfriend; diving and getting caught by a giant clam; hooking Thumper, the big one, the legendary mongrel fish, and letting him get away. Fergus Kipper and his loser family and friends are at it again - this time in the perfect summer holiday read. Their hilarious adventures on the water - and under it - will leave you gasping for mouth-to-mouth.
