Worcester writer Kevin Brooke has sent more copies of Jimmy Cricket, his latest young adult novel, to Austria.

The books are being used in lessons "in a cross-curricular way".

Students are reading the books, which are written in English, as well as discussing the content and topic of the book which is published by Black Pear Press.
