Worcester writer Kevin Brooke has sent more copies of Jimmy Cricket, his latest YA novel, to Austria; his librarian contact, Linda, said:

‘… I’ve spoken to the teacher who is using them and she
confirms they are being used in a ‘Fachschule für Sozialberufe’, with
Fachschule being a special, specific school for school leavers and
Sozialberufe, literally meaning Social Jobs.

‘She has explained that the books will be used in her lessons “in a cross-curricular way, combining English language and reading in a foreign language plus discussing the content / the topic of the book about a troubled boy which is also relevant for our students as we are in a social college.”‘
