It's 1992 in Burnie, Tasmania. Twelve-year-old Justin Heazlewood just wants to be a normal boy with a normal family.

With High School on the horizon, Justin feels the need to grow up fast. He must learn to navigate new friends, girls and spirituality, all the while trying to deal with his mum's schizophrenia.
Told with a youthful exuberance, GET UP MUM is a wildly endearing, entertaining and incredibly powerful memoir about love, family, mental illness and growing up.
