Sam's dad runs an ice-cream parlour, which is steadily going bankrupt thanks to competition from Karbunkle's mega-emporiums. Mum's getting fed up with Dad's dreams of making money, and moves out. Sam longs for Dad's luck to change when - suddenly one night - a large meteorite comes thumping down into their garden. But it isn't any old meterorite - this one has super freezing qualities, which make it perfect for making ice-cream. Everyone loves Dad's fab new recipe and a famous hotel even asks him to make a special batch in the shape of a poodle for a rock star's party. But Dad's old enemies are determined to spoil his success. Sam sniffs a rat - but can he act in time and save the day? Full of larger-than-life characters, action and adventure, this is a rollicking story which will be relished by anyone who likes ice-cream ...especially boys.
