Synopsis

Joey Gibbs is always up for a laugh. What isn't funny: the Big Trouble he caused at his old school that meant his family had to move back home to Coolibah Creek. Joey's going to keep his head down this time. New school, new mates, new start. But trouble seems to have a way of finding him. When his sister and cousin start getting mysteriously pranked, Joey looks for answers from his Wakka Wakka culture. He discovers he's caught the attention of the Junjardy, a little hairy trickster. Joey can't resist making mischief again with his secret partner in crime. But as the jokes spiral out of control, he must work out what the Junjardy wants with him before disaster strikes. Action-packed with loads of humour and heart, Joey and the Junjardy shows how the smallest of creatures can help you to stand tall and proud.
