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.

Being Jimmy Baxter is a captivating book, perfect for young, adventurous readers. The story is about a boy named Jimmy Branthwaite, who runs away from his father with his mum and arrives in a town called Mungo Creek. Here at Mungo Creek, Jimmy settles down to make a new life with new friends, a new house and a new school along with changing his last name to ‘Baxter’. I really liked the part where he finally realised what he had done to his father towards the end of the book. I give it a 4/5 stars.
