What is Dexter Procter The Ten-year-old Doctor about?
Dexter Procter is no ordinary ten-year-old; he's a qualified paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital. Despite his brilliance, Dexter struggles to fit in, balancing a loving yet exasperating family, loyal friends Rupi and Otto, and a nemesis in Dr Drake. When a severe diarrhoea outbreak incapacitates his former school's teachers, Dexter faces the challenge of saving both his job and the school. Can he navigate these hurdles and find his place in the world? (Spoiler: yes!)
