Two Manchester lads with a talent for getting in trouble enrol at a super-strict sea school in Hong Kong.

Fourteen-year-old Adolphe has a short fuse and strong views that are always getting him in trouble. His partner in crime is 13-year-old Christna, who is known by all as the classroom clown. How will they survive this Extreme School experience?

The boys think they are in paradise when they arrive for their first day on Stanley beach, but after meeting the school's principal Mr Lee they soon realise that this will be no holiday! There is super-strict discipline, scary teachers and a jam-packed schedule to contend with.

The boys are literally thrown in the deep end when they take a dragon boat out to sea and pushed to the limit when they have to learn a complicated naval flag routine that they must perform at the end of the week in front of a special guest.

But both have their eyes opened to the possibilities of hard work from two very surprising sources.

Will the boys manage to keep their heads above water, or will they go down on a sinking ship? Show less
