"Small-town life is unforgiving when you're from the other side of the tracks" -- Cover.
"Jimmy is a kid growing up fast on the poorest street in town. He tries to do everything right and look out for his mum and his younger brother. His older brother is in jail, so it's up to Jimmy to hold things together. But small-town life is unforgiving if you're from the other side of the tracks. If only his mum didn't drink so much. If only he could win the school billycart race. If only his best friend understood. If only he could stop his mum's boyfriend from getting angry. Jimmy soon learns that even when you get things right, everything can still go wrong..."--Back cover.
