Jim Carrington has already established himself as a fine writer for teens with his debut novel, Inside My Head . With In the Bag , he shows how horribly easy it is for two teenage boys to make a car crash of their lives, through an unlucky combination of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and making a handful of wrong decisions. This is Jim Carrington's second novel. He is a teacher and he lives with his family in Raynes Park, south-west London.
