Being Jimmy Baxter

A gently funny yet powerful coming-of-age middle grade novel about surviving the odds, unlikely friendships and the magical music of Elvis.

It’s not eggsactly easy being Jimmy Baxter ’cause-
The real Jimmy’s hiding inside
Ned Kelly’s giving him the evil eye
Mum’s stopped going to work and stays in bed
There’s no eggs in the fridge – or anything else.
AND there’s new jobs, bad-at-school brains and a whole lot of trouble called Duke.
But then . . . there’s Mac.
